[QUOTE="smurfslayer, post: 1695136, member: 21926"] It is not ‘normal’ for the ’17 Raptor engine to consume vast quantities of oil. I believe the ’18(?) MY had a TSB for the valve cover replacement. That video looks to have some pretty bad scoring, which doesn’t bode well for the rest of the engine. While the turbocharged engines can consume some oil, it’s not a lot. You don’t see users on here regularly complaining of oil usage over the life of the truck. Trust me, if that was a thing, this forum would be full of complaining about it. I am not trying to be difficult ( I can hear the groans from the audience ) but to drill down on the warranty, you bought it at Autonation, but is it the Ford ESP or some other warranty? Some dealers sell lower cost alternatives. While you should check the oil regularly - that is in the owner’s manual in black and white, you do not need to change oil every 3k miles. OTOH, @FortTechOne has been trying to convince folks to NOT take the truck to 10k miles between changes as the Raptor’s Ecoboost demands a lot of the motor oil, and --requires-- semi-synthetic or synthetic oil to be used. He makes a compelling case to change oil on the shorter schedule, about 5k miles. It’s not going to hurt you to change oil more frequently other than to cost you some more money, but I’ve been having blackstone analyze my oil changes since new and they’re not reporting back bad stuff. FWIW, I’ve done one interval up to 7k miles and that was it, now I’m well under that at around 5k miles As far as the engine - that’s going to depend on the warranty company. If it is actually a Ford ESP, you’ll get a Ford short block or long block. If you have a warranty other than Ford, they may try to source a junk yard motor, eBay purchase or remanufactured engine if the terms allow them to do so. While I’m sure companies like Jasper make good stuff, on a vehicle this new, I would want a Ford replacement and accept nothing else. [/QUOTE]
