if you can pull the codes, im guessing there is a wastegate actuator fault which will put it in wrench mode and no boost..

i see you reset the computer now after i had already typed this, but i guess itll be fine until it isnt again...

As @smurfslayer said the 10,000 miles internal is the MAXIMUM allowable interval under PERFECT operating conditions. In other words, it applies to basically nobody.

Full synthetic oil is recommended. Ford’s minimum requirement is semi-Synthetic.

When certain DTCs set the PCM will disable boost to protect the engine. That’s not a sign that the turbochargers have an issue.

DTC P0600 indicates an internal PCM communication error. It’s typically caused by aftermarket tuners or electromagnetic interference, such as an aftermarket power running board module mounted in the engine compartment.

That is interesting and helpful information regarding the DTC P0600 code, glad to hear that it just might be some sort of a glitch that might never happen again. The dealership uses 5/30 Motorcraft Synthetic Blend, just called to find out.

Well, over 1,000 miles now and no relapse. I wonder what caused this code to throw?
