I think there may be a problem....
Yeah, 2000 miles since the last oil change and I had to put 5 quarts in yesterday!
I got an oil light and started putting oil in. None showed up on the dipstick until I had put 5 quarts in!!!! There are no puddles and appears to be no leak. I haven't noticed any smoke from the back of the truck, but then again I wasn't really looking. So I brought it in and the dealer did an oil change since the oil was pretty much black (even after adding 5 fresh quarts) and I am suppose to bring it back in once it gets a bit low again so we can figure out how bad it is burning the oil up. Kinda funny, just the other day I was thinking that buying the extended warantee was a waste of money! I'm sure glad I got that now, I may end up with a new engine for $100 deductable! |
Holy Hell!! Wheres ALL that oil going???
Did you pull #1 or #5 by chance, to look at the plugs. That Extended warranty may have saved your a$$ :thumbsup: |

Last time you had the oil changed - is it possible that "whoever" did the oil change forgot to put the (or enough) oil in???

They did that with mine in 2000 - The mechanic never came back from lunch and they thought it was done - when I picked it up , it had a new filter , but no oil - it didn't last a mile before it blew..

I remember they tried to give me a van to drive until they decided what to do - It wasn't even a FORD , lol .. That didn't fly - They gave me a F350 instead. |

Probably has a bad bearing and the oil is burning internally. No visible smoke because of the PCV system.

I did the last oil change and I'm quite sure I put in the right amount of oil. If I had left it really low, I would have thought that it would have given me a light sooner. Kind of interesting that the oil light doesn't come on until the truck is pretty much empty. |
I would pull the plug - 1 or 5 is easy to pull to confirm it's burning myself. That's up 2 U. Really with the warrenty - if your covered,(read the fine print) you may not have to worry about it , just take it in ..Does it cover labor as well?

I pulled all of the plugs and none of them showed any sign of burned oil. Though one of the plug holes was filled with oil.
I haven't had a problem since though and it's been over a year. |
