Hello all,
First post, I do the repair and maintenance on a small fleet of vehicles and I've "picked up on something" I wanted to share. I've got 18 E150s with the 5.4 engines of which 16 burn a lot of oil. I found a service bulletin that brand F released to the dealers regarding the issue and the repair (They all have under 35k) But the issue I want to share is regarding the oil consumption test the dealer will have to perform prior to telling you its normal.
ALL dealers regardless of "brand" will overfill the oil to skew the results of the test. Always check the level with the service manager present!!! BTW TSB 13-6-9
