Default Re: FEH OIL CHANGE

[Q problems in FEH. I have 9500 miles on mine and it's not consumed a dUOTE=stevewa]This is the first time I've heard of any oil consumptionrop.

I really don't think thats any big deal of oil consumption with a drop in 6,600 miles. I would be very concerned if the stick showed max. after I put 4 1/2 qts in but it was in the middle of max. and min. When I checked it before the change, it was at min.. That would be less than a qt I would think during break-in and say 5,000 miles. Not that bad.

My point was that with the FEH, your going three times as many miles before normal Ford oil changes. Most of the normal Fords would not drop much in 3,000 miles that you would notice.

Your FEH has gone 9,500 miles without using a drop. I can't explain why but only say my FEH was either not full from the start or used that oil. I don't think I have an oil consumption problem at this point. It may be the driving habits, weather condition etc. that make the difference. Alot can happen in 10,000 miles and I would be ready to add oil during that time.
