Well part of the matter is that not all the oil consumed is being burnt in combustion. The valve trains have a good amount of blow-by which is why you see us all putting catch cans on, especially on the passenger side. I have to dump my catch can pretty frequently. I see you also have an M3. Fortunately the catch-can solution is much simpler than BMW's issue-prone oil separation systems if you've ever had the pleasure of diagnosing and replacing them. A catalytic converter doesn't really 'clean' burnt oil as far as I've ever understood. If anything the oil would start to create a residue on the honeycomb and I presume how it would affect the life would be based on whether the cat is getting hot enough to burn off the residue.
Well said. I find it impossible to believe they don’t know what is causing this. I would be far more likely to buy (and feel comfortable buying) another Ford in the future if they came out and said “hey we goofed... we made a mistake here so lets get it fixed”. At the end of the day i think most people don’t care what the problem really is, they just want it fixed.
It’s pretty hypocritical on your part to call Ford out regarding resale value of the GT350 when every time you put your two cents in it’s a negative comment. Which in turn is doing current owners no good. Frankly I’m tired of hearing from you too.
Taking this very seriously - I believe the answer is that there are multiple things that have gone wrong with the Voodoo engines. Just like any complicated piece of machinery there are many, many potential failure points.
