Are all you guys condescending @#@holes on this web site???
You were a mechanic for 10 years yet you can’t figure out where 4 quarts of oil went. ****** funny
Ok (tmd11111) genius, you figure it out.
White smoke in the tail pipe is typically coolant.
Blue smoke is typically oil.
Black smoke is typically running rich (along with a pungent smell, though they all smell. Running rich will make your eyes water).
This truck has 6k total miles on it, with a clean burining tail pipe, no oil leaks, and I just checked my coolant reservoir and it is a nice pink color. Error codes since I have had it include misfire, cam shaft fauit, and 2 other codes having to do with oil pressure. This is the second time at the dealer, the first time they told me of low oil levels.
Maybe Ford never filled the oil all the way to begin with??? I personally have had many new cars since my mechanic days 25 years ago, and I am not in the habit of checking the oil levels when I take delivery on a brand new car. That's what a PDI inspection does. I started out doing that check list at 16 years old for Elmwood Datsun.
Does anyone here on this forum have any intelligent things to say??? Or do most of you just post to rack up numbers and look cool????
Thanks opt prime and fordraptorhero for actual intelligent comments. Scary these things burn though so much oil. I still can't believe 4 quarts in 6k and it was at the dealer in the middle of it all.
