What do you guys think ?  65 psi for cylinder 5 I know that is low but is it fixable?

i am a little confused.  they say relative compression was equal across all the cylinders, were ALL the cylinders low compression?

Causes of low compression:

But yeah, generally if even 1 cylinder is low compression, the best option on an ecoboost is to replace the engine, time & $$$ wise.

The power of an oscilloscope.  This guy walks you through basically what the dealership did.

Can you post a video of the engine cranking, you can hear that low of a compression pretty easily, and assuming the battery is good at the time of the test, figure out if there IS a problem even without scoping.

Get a second opinion as always... 

oddity :: equal across all cylinders may have been a typo ... but when my mechanic did a compression check i got results for ALL cylinders independently rated not just one.

What happened to the fuse?  report lists it as missing .. ?

You have a 2010.  Your MKS does not have an oil cooler.

 But that said, an oil cooler can be easily retrofitted if you so desired

Technically, any engine from the transverse 2010-2019 family will fit, but there will be some (not major) differences when you cross model lines.  Especially if you decide on a Police Interceptor engine or Explorer engine.  Easily overcome, but just to be aware.
