[QUOTE="JAJ, post: 16350594, member: 131874"] To be clear, the only people with real data are the engineers at Ford who tore down the dead engines replaced under warranty. Sadly, they're not telling us anything. A wide selection of inherently unreliable internet forum and YouTube data is summarized here: [URL="https://overrunautomotive.com/articles/gt350-engine-failure-by-the-numbers/"]GT350 Engine Failure: By The Numbers - Overrun[/URL] The person who put that data together did the best they could with what they had and they deserve credit for doing it. They were looking at catastrophic engine failures though, so they didn't capture engines with high oil consumption. Is there a source for high oil consumption data? I'd like to see it. As I remember it, it was a problem that started showing up in 2017 (the calendar year, not the model year) and just kept getting worse through 2018. I does seem to have eased up now, but since we don't know what caused it, we have no way of figuring out when or how it was fixed. Or if it was fixed - it could be that it's not showing up for 2019's because they're too new and it takes a while to develop. [/QUOTE]
