Guys my 05 Lariat 5.4 uses a liter between changes and this at 60,000 kilometers. Anyone else having this experience? I change at every 5000 kms. Thanks Greg

 

No worries Greg ,that's within normal range..

 

one liter????isnt that alot of oil?. lets talk english system here. hes losing half a big bootle of coke" i think of liters i always think of a coke bottle" between changes??. 5000kms is like 4k miles right around there??. thats alot to lose isnt it?? wait a sec better comparison.. hes losing a a 7/11 big gulp cup of oil each time. cant be good.

 

It's to early for this so I'll let the computer cipher -

One liter = 1.0566882 qt's

60,OOO kms = 37,282.272 Miles

5,000 kms = 3,106.856 Miles

A BIG gulp ? fill it with coffee okay

Well that did confuse me a bit , I thought he was changing every 5000 miles - That's still marginal according to Ford - I wouldn't like it tho , specially when my 5.4L doesn't use any @ 228,000 Miles (366,930.43 kms )..

 

A quart every 3k miles is well within normal limits.

What brand and grade oil are you using?

 

Fellas I'm using Quaker State 5w - 20. I just started to notice this change in oil consumption at 60kilometers and I'm now at 73000, seems odd to me that this would occur at what I percieve to be faily low mileage for a 2005 Lariat? If my truck isn't leaking oil anywhere then I guess it must be burning it. This auto is primarily used for highway driving, as I have a car for booting around town. Thanks Greg

 

Wouldn't hurt to replace the PCV valve - they are cheap enough.
