Replaced Voodoo Engine

[galaxy]

My car at idle is 140 psi and under wot is around 240 psi. I think my motor might be bad due to low oil pressure.

Are your gauges metric ? I did not think the stock gauge went that high?

Once the needle loops back around, he starts interpolating, LOL.

But all kidding aside, high oil pressure is not a good thing. High oil pressure is every bit as much an indicator of a problem as low oil pressure.

I'm sure he was joking. Still, I was trying to find other words that started with the letters P, S and I that would generate those numbers. Failed.

This thread gets more ridiculous everyday lol

If you haven’t considered it yet, replace your oil pump gears and save yourself some trouble down the road...

The new motor runs 125-140 under throttle. If your motor is only making 100 pounds or so, or you test a 350 and that's what you see--good chance it's a bad motor.

Awesome now we can create another thread if you have under a 100psi oil pressure you have a bad motor this should really put everyone over the edge!

Don't make statements like this when you have no idea what you are talking about. Oil pressure and oil consumption have absolutely no relationship.

I see, I just read the original post.

Aaaaahhhh...now we see what you did there. Now your post above makes a lot more sense, lol. Sorry bro. Missed that buried in his post. You can see the confusion though as you didn’t “quote” him, you retyped it and thus it looked like you sold it as your own.

I have a 2017 GT350 that consumes, in my opinion, way too much oil especially when I hear folks say theirs consume next to nothing. Mine goes through 1.5-2.5 quarts every 1000 miles. The alert for an oil change just came up and I've added 11 quarts since the last change. Prior to the last oil change I had the dealership track the oil consumption and report it to Ford. The response from Ford is that up to 2 quarts per 1000 is "normal". While it may be "normal" and the impression I get is that it is far from the typical consumption most owners see, I don't find it acceptable.

I get no relief from the dealer since Ford is saying it is normal. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get in touch with someone at Ford above the dealership level in order to register a complaint? I read about others having engines replaced due to oil consumption issues. Maybe they had even worse issues than I do but I'd like to have the conversation with Ford instead of a service manager who can shrug it off.

Ask a couple Ford dealers, untill one shows you, to see the TSB Ford has sent to dealers stating oil consumption levels that warrants engine replacement.

Wait! Over 1,300 posts on this thread and NOBODY has obtained an actaul copy of the supposed TSB? Seriously?

This is the closest I could get to it:

That was sent out to all of us with a spin on oil filter with the wrench with our vin on it. Its not a tsb just Fords way of covering there butt and not having to do any thing to our engine if consuming oil unless its more than a quart every 500 miles (you know sorta like a chainsaw would use)

I hope so. Here's the link I have

The last update was back in August. I don't think the original person that made that (and owns the file) has been updating it. They saw the 60+ reports of engines, including mine (out of the probably 20k+ cars sold) and lost interest. Anyone that is wanting to take up the mantle can copy this as it is, and reshare that link as they update it.

What the car is known for now. I'm sure ford has an answer for it but it's just too expensive I'm sure. So best to just sit on their hands and let the warranty run out:

That’s pretty much what GM did with the C6 Z06 head issues.

Some unconfirmed info out there that Ford did do something about it with 2018+ MY GT350's. So I am holding off comparing Ford to GM in that regard for now.

2nd oil consumption reading today. Almost 2 qts down after a little over 300 miles. They confirmed it is leaking oil in addition to burning, and added an oil leak marker. I checked my garage floor, maybe 1 oz of oil below the car. Oil pressure sensor? One more reading next week after another 200 miles and the test is over .
