[QUOTE="ANGREY, post: 16076162, member: 188865"] Two different issues. Your proposal is only solving the PCV blow by which is present on nearly all modern cars (most people just don't take notice or care). No one is "catching" enough oil in the PCV system to account for the oil loss some people are experiencing. That oil is either blowing by the rings or some other route out the exhaust. Ford may be mum for any number of reasons. Because they're worried about class action suits. Because they're scared of fines from the EPA, etc, etc. I suspect that it has something to do with either aluminum cylinders or the new sleeving method (or both) and it's blow by when the cylinders are cold and slapping the walls until it heats up and mates properly. Others have presented equally compelling theories. Either way, it's inconsistent in nearly every aspect. Some cars start burning right away, some wait tens of thousands of miles, some haven't burned excessive oil at all. Some are guys that drive hard all the time, some are guys that keep a garage queen and never drive it. Tech pack, Track Pack, 2017+, R model, there's no consistent factor to give further insight into what's causing it. I imagine Ford has at least an idea, but they're not going to say until the costs of warranty claims and replacements are MUCH greater than the cost of a recall. [/QUOTE]
