Anyone see the Ford oil consumption warnings this week?

[mad man]

I think middle is full. Maybe someone can confirm? I have 3k on my 18 and it's been in the middle since I bought it a year ago.

It has to touch the top hole on dip stick , I checked it after my last oil change from the ford dealer .

Yeah I was wrong. I checked mine on a flat surface and it was 1/16 below the top full hatch mark.

Well this isn’t exactly about oil consumption, but maybe something to look at when you’re down there. At about 2500 miles I did my first oil change. The mechanics saw some red fluid around my skid plate. He said it was very little but nonetheless a leak. All the seals were replaced oil was changed and I was sent on my way. Fast forward 5000 miles and I Brought my oil and filter to the mechanic to do my second oil change.”Drew the mechanic preferred to do it himself so he could look around underneath there. On taking off the skid plates he noticed a few droplets of red fluid again. He said that they were going to replace everything forward of the driveshaft. They kept it for around six days. He said the four bolts were the hold up. Bottom line is check for those red droplets. None was visible on the ground, as it was very little. I believe he said there was no TSP for it. This is a 2019.
I would’ve never known as the truck has driven perfect, no warning lights, and transmission never heated up.
For what it’s worth I was given a king Ranch with the 3.5 eco-boost. The raptor rides much smoother and isn’t quite as jumpy if that makes any sense when pushing on the gas.I believe it had the FX four package on it which could’ve made it ride so much rougher. It was just like the gas pedal was very light which made the truck feel jumpy. I can honestly say I’ve never driven in a truck quite like the raptor

Just wanted to post an update, scroll way up for context.

I'm now 2,500 miles since the "no oil on stick" incident. Checked oil level again and there's been no movement at all, catch can has heavy residue hardly any accumulation.

I'm calling my case one of underfill from factory and dealership that skipped thier checklist.

Good to hear you have no oil consumption.

My feeling is the assembly plant puts the minimum amount of oil. Then Ford expects the dealers to check the fluid levels and top up where required. But of course, it doesn’t happen. So much for PDI.

I didn’t check my oil level upon delivery. In retrospect, I should have because it was low by about a quart. My coolant was a little low as well.

The service department won’t see my face or money ever.

I expect to ONLY take it to an authorized (FoMoCo) service center while in the warranty period.

I've taken full responsibility for not checking my oil when I took delivery. It is one of the most basic things a car owner can do for what, 90 Years?

As a kid who grew up on late '60s tech, because I could buy a running 60-70 jalopy for ~$250 in 1980, we all know to check that chit. But as someone who grew old and fat and lazy in the 90s I stopped checking, at least when buying new OEM vehicles with full warranties. Seriously, out of well over a dozen vehicles purchased new from multiple OEMs (foreign and domestic) I've never experienced a brand new vehicle being under filled at delivery.

not to be killjoy and all, but you’re only 2500 miles into a 10k mile change interval. Yeah, you can change it sooner, but just trying to put some context in this.

if you’re babying it, don’t. If your truck does have a problem now is the time to expose it under warranty, not scores of thousands of miles later. Cane it.

Even so... it does sound promising.

I had similar experience on the "factory" oil. They didn't PDI the oil level or the tire pressure. Anywho, getting ready to pass 28k, no issues after the first oil change.

Checked my day one of ownership and it was filled to the 2nd dot on the dipstick. Check again at 1000 miles and it was halfway between the two dots but still good. Checked today at 1802 miles and it’s at the bottom dot. (Quart low).
