The Ford dealer here wont fix nothing this UOA paper they will use to go to the restroom with.
I need this truck but it looks like I will lose this one too!
I am going to drive it till it breaks!

No I have the invoices for 3 oil changes, last one I just purchsed yesterday from the dealer $85 oil/filter.
this oil needs to be changed asap before I take it in.

you know the screwed up thing is I had a 2006 6.0 that had a bad turbo from day one. it lasted 50,000 miles and on the way to the dealer the turbo siezed up.
I begged and begged the dealer to replace the turbo they just wasted my time, took the truck in 6 times, one time 18 days without my truck, NOTHING DONE.
The last day I had that truck was the day the turbo siezed.
that day they gave the pos I have now with a slew of other problems.
My old 6.0 was a much better truck for me I miss it now!

So why are you so willing to share what oil you used on this post, but not on your other one?
 
Jeez - the Fe and Al are high on this one too. Very likely a result of such high fuel and possible coolant contamination.


Yeah - and to echo rat, why the brand name on this thread, but not the other?
 
just something about this motor. it at least was very common for the oil level to rise significantly from the fuel system over fueling for DPF regen. we have seen trucks with a 15qt capacity drain over 20 quarts on an oil change.

5 quarts of diesel fuel in the engine oil is not a problem???? That would have to accelerate wear, especially on the turbochargers.

I don't think the brand of truck is the issue, but more his inability to maintain them properly.
 
Well, dang!
Do you really expect that the SAME oil will last long in a well used DIESEL TRUCK????

No wonder its blown up!

WHAT KIND OF OIL WAS IT????

If I could run oil that long, man would I be happy!
 
Truck today coming home had white smoke trailing out the tailpipe,
I stopped I smelled coolant, I checked I had none, 5 gallons of water I added just to get home.
Bets on what will FORD tell me?
