There also have been failures due to internal parts like the oil pump gear failing and other oiling-related problems (and people not torquing the oil filters), but I have no idea how many. It looks to me like Ford may have released the supplement to the owner’s manual to prevent having to replace engines with excessive oil consumption.
So, here’s the real question: If you have to add 20 quarts of oil in 10,000 miles, haven’t you already changed the oil?  |
thats wild!
I'm surprised there has not been a lawsuit yet. If its that bad I wouldnt even bother an oil change
