Look back at the threads. I provided the release from Ford on the oil consumption issue:
Heads up to all owners of newer Ford vehicles:
May 13 2019 8228 - 2017-2019 F-Super Duty, 2016-2019 F-650/F-750 - 6.7L - Chassis Cab/DRW Pickup Only - Oil Consumption - Extended Idle Vehicles
May 13 2019...
There were two things that Ford had recently. They revised valve covers for excessive white smoke out the exhaust. This was reported here a while back. More recently, Ford issued a bulletin concerning most Ford engines (this 3.5 ecoboost included) where there was excessive oil consumption. This...
Demand will definitely be high for it. Many have sat out of the Raptor market because they didn't want what is available. Those people will buy in. I just hope my truck has some value at that point.
Since we are so late in the year, just wait for the 20 which is coming with the 5.2sc. I am not sure why anyone would buy 17/18/19 at this point. My 18 is getting sold off when I can get my 5.2sc. it will be leaps and bounds ahead.
The smoke out the exhaust is a common issue that has been reported many times. The solution from Ford was revised valve covers.
Ford also released a bulletin about all of the 3.5 ecoboost for heavy oil consumption. Their solution for that was also new valve covers.
This is a common issue. Ford has released a service bulletin regarding this and you will get new valve covers. In the meantime before your service visit, make sure you are checking your oil level daily. You are most likely a few quarts low at this point.
2019 has same part number, and has had a failure rate since 2017. Ford doesn't have a new part number available that works yet. Ryan here is working on a fix since he identified the root cause as a Ford design problem.
Do you know if the change to metal pan is truly a few hours? I thought it was mentioned here that it was very labor intensive to change over. I don't remember cost, but at least a full day work.
That has proven to not be a factor for this. The 2010 - 2014 ecoboost people thought the same thing and it didn't matter the oil, filter, or how often oil was changed.
