GT350 Oil Consumption Diagnosis Process

[knighthawk]

Just got done with my warranty process on my 2018 GT350. I had the extended warranty on it and it ended in a little over a month when I brought the issue up to the dealer.

the first process was them having me drive 500 miles after filling the car up with oil to see how much it was burning. After the 500 miles I burned a little under 2 and 1/2 quarts.
After this the dealer tried to push me away and say that my extended warranty was up already so I needed to contact a higher up at ford.

after talking to the higher up, they contacted the dealer and told them that my warranty was still valid and that they are to replace my motor.

A week later I dropped the car off and had my gen 1 motor replaced by a gen 2. The whole process of tearing down the motor, ordering my gen 2, and installing the motor took a little over 2 weeks.

it’s been around a month and a half since I’ve had the car back and I haven’t had any issues since. Hope this post can help anyone having issues with their gen 1 Gt350s

Glad you got it replaced. I have since sold the car and got a 2022 M3. I miss the GT350 at times and the experience of it all but don’t miss hoping I don’t go through more than 2 engines and having to do so after my warranty is up. Hope you’re enjoying your car. They really are special.
