[QUOTE="662, post: 15879012, member: 161934"] Sounds fishy. I think the oil issues are: - hose compression fittings on the oil cooler block by the oil filter that leaks under pressure and - improperly torqued oil filter blow-by Ford has a tsb for the hoses and sent everyone a oil filter wrench to try and make all aware and address these issues. My opinion is either of these can appear to be a steady loss or either can suddenly get worse, maybe a improper torque on the filter or hose oring suddenly fails and if the oil issue suddenly got worse then one could unknowingly "develop" the issue quickly, but the light and oil pressure would have been signaling when the levels drop before failure, and they would have. There also would have been a lot of oil on the belly pan and oil filter area. The possibility exists for catastrophic failure. So, I bet there are cars that have or will have oil issues and possibly engine issues because of them. I owned a hose leak car and had to diagnose the issue for my dealer after giving them 3 attempts. I suspect many dealers mis-diagnosed the hose leak for the loose filter issue like mine as well... Other than these known and very preventable issues, I am skeptical about burning oil issues. Clearly our cars have oil concerns and owners will need to pay attention. -notorious [/QUOTE]
