Does your Gen 3 Coyote V8 have oil consumption?

[LSchicago]

Not that I've seen, but it gets fresh synthetic every 1,000 miles or so.

Nah, that has never been any standard. Come on, would you be OK with a new Mustang burning a QT of oil every 500 miles? Just think of the environmental impact alone.

I've been wrenching a long time and it's never been OK to burn that much oil.

Hello; Never stated it was OK with me, but that it was and has been a threshold for repair for some time. I do not like it if an engine uses half a quart in 3000 miles.

I have been wrenching a long time also and have heard of such a standard. That I discovered a potential for excessive oil consumption in the model year of a new Ford F-150 with the gen III engine was how I wound up on this forum.

My dad had a new 1989 GMC 3500 with a 454 that used a quart every 500 since new. GM said nothing they would do unless it reached 400 per quart. He hated that truck. First and last GM truck he ever bought.

I know you didn't...that is why I asked if it was OK with you. More snark.

I'd laugh in the service girls face if she told me that is was within spec.

400 miles per quart of oil? That would be like a broken ring land or someone put in some wrong rings.

Unfortunately some of the older Gm products like to burn and chang ther own oil .

Depend on how you use the truck
I had a 2001 3/4 ton suburban with the 8.1 engine and when towing heavy (12.000 lbs), would use over 1qt per 500 miles
No towing . Would use nada

It was a joke .did it "blow-by" you ?

 

[cactus_kid]

Brilliant logic on Fords part. A fresh qt every 500 miles ? I'll only need to change the filter once every 6 mos. No need to ever remove the drain plug.

It's a feature.

True. Assuming under normal driving conditions. Towing 6 tons isn't.

When I had my Porsche 997S back in the day, that car was using 1 litre every 1500 miles. I was concerned about the IMS issue with the 911. My car was an 07 so they told me that wasn't an issue. However, Porsche also said that this was normal for the oil consumption.

Ice445 I think the 1 litre every 500 miles was for the GT350 when tracking the car, right?
