[QUOTE="Modular Racing, post: 14811801, member: 18904"] The truck engine has many different specs from the car engine, one of the applicable differences would be the rings gaps - the truck calling out for tighter gaps, meaning less oil pollution. Being that the rings are the one and only line of defense to keep the oil contamination to its lowest we would consider this the main reason. Other factors such as compression ratio are also a factor (lower compression ratio or in the bigger picture lower cylinder pressure have less blow by/oil contamination than higher compression). Interesting the FORD owners manual states it should not be used continuously or at very least with increased service intervals "If you operate your vehicle 50% or more of the time on ethanol, you should follow a different maintenance schedule. In addition to this it is also recommended to fill the fuel tank with regular unleaded gasoline once every 3,000 miles (4,828 km). See scheduled maintenance information for more information."
