- Description:
Restore your engine's performance with the Genuine Ford Variable Valve Timing (VCT) Oil Control Solenoid (8L3Z-6M280-B). Also known as a camshaft timing solenoid or oil control valve, this OEM Ford component regulates engine oil flow to the variable camshaft timing system, helping optimize engine performance, fuel efficiency, and emissions.
A failing VCT solenoid can contribute to rough idle, poor acceleration, reduced fuel economy, engine hesitation, or an illuminated check engine light. Replacing a worn or malfunctioning solenoid with a Genuine Ford OEM VCT Oil Control Solenoid helps restore proper engine timing and maintain the performance your Ford or Lincoln vehicle was engineered to deliver.
Unlike many aftermarket replacements, the 8L3Z-6M280-B solenoid is manufactured to Ford's exact specifications for dependable operation, proper oil flow control, and long-lasting durability.
