[QUOTE="ANGREY, post: 15975738, member: 188865"] I know a guy, who drives the HELL out of his gt350, probably harder than any track day. He did 656 miles in 7:19 (including 2 fuel stops) and had several stretches with the car between 3-4k rpms for HOURS, including COUNTLESS deceleration and hard/near redline acceleration stints and doesn't have significant oil issues. Other guys have been fine and then suddenly started with no apparent event or development. Other guys baby the car and it burns oil. Some guys let the car warm up before flogging it, others jump in and mash the pedals. I guess what I'm saying is that there SEEMS to be no definitive culprit for it or at least not one that doesn't have examples of where the theory falls apart. If Ford knows, they're not saying. At this point, the only thing that makes sense (without an example to refute the theory) is that it's a very bad issue with QA/QC at the factory with either the bore/rings fitment or something along those lines. For every theory, there's someone who chimes in that DOESN'T do that and still burns oil. [/QUOTE]
