They are trying to make us all think it's a permanent fix and it's not. I was to get a new motor and two days later Ford called the dealer and told them it wouldn't do any good and they did not put in the new motor. I asked for a buy-back when it had miles on it. That didn't go over well. I'm willing to join any class action as soon as anyone gets it started.

I had such high hopes, had researched all brands for over a year while we saved up for a HUGE downpayment so our monthly payment would not be like a mortgage I tried to get them to buy back - but they just tossed a couple ESP's at me to appease.
I heard somewhere that when the Dearborn and Kansas City production lines are in full swing, they're literally cranking out an F every 48 seconds. You simply cannot do that without sacrificing quality. I ended up getting a Jeep truck, always wanted one. So far the build quality meets my expectations, and then some. And even though it's a mid-size payload is , and towing Payload about the same rating as my F I wish you guys all the best in running this down and holding Ford accountable.
GuruPNQ4X answered about a year ago. Here is some more concrete info on the latest tsb on the 5. I had new motor installed under initial tsb, new motor with 10k on it burns little over a quart in 3k miles.
Original engine burned two quarts in 3K. Had attached tsb performed and we will see. Good work Ford, have fun getting run out of business by Elon! What a shame, really wanted to like my new F, if this is the bar - well, nough said. Hope this helps GuruL8VW8 answered about a year ago.
I'm having oil burning issues as well , already have a new engine put in and still burning. Does anyone know if a class action law suit has been filed. I am seriously considering taken legal action and am currently seeking leagal advice.

Mine reads nothing after 5k the throttle is making knocking noises they marked the dipstick and then make you wait 3 hours to check it when you bring it back the service dude said they have problem with the engine offered no remedy hopefully it just throws a rod and catches fire.
I took delivery of my F with 5. David answered about a year ago. Plasma cylinder lining is too thin. Ford better go back to steel cylinder liners soon. Bob answered about a year ago. Bob, what exactly is the problem in real world details so everyone reading these posts can understand much better what the resolution is to all these 5.
Just a real question with the common problems and fixes Ford is implementing, please. What can owners many of these high oil consumption 5. NYCruiser answered about a year ago. I had to add 2 qts during first miles. Dealer changed oil at and told me not to add anymore oil, just bring it in if it is low. At it was below the add mark, so brought it in.
They added oil, confirmed that it wasn't normal, and told me to run it up to when next oil change is do. If low at that point, they will begin consumption test. Phillip answered about a year ago.
It's not just fs it's all 5. I see a lot of tsbs issues on 5. Both have deceleration rattle issues, bbq rattle, 2, rpm rattle. It's ridiculous I've spent as much money as I did on my 5.
Hell my dealership tried putting 8 qts in my car and it takes 10, left oil dipstick out. I really want to like Ford, but they're losing alot of loyal Ford customers from treating them this way. Here are the TSB's I've found: 01 March , 10 May supersedes , 12 November supersedes , and 05 December supersedes Ford has not told us dealerships what exactly is causing the oil consumption issue.
My guess is issues with the plasma coated cylinder wall and piston ring compatibility or sizing. Ford's latest TSB on the issue is a new dipstick with a wider oil level "normal" range.
The and up 5. I seriously doubt this will have any effect on engine durability and longevity. Mine used some oil before the first oil change at 5, miles.
I added a quart and went on about my business not worried about it. When I change oil I always put the full 9 quarts in it as does our dealership.
I really wouldn't worry about an engine that uses a quart in 2, miles, but more than that I would think something needs attention. Just my personal opinion. Guru2T4QQ answered about a year ago. I drive my Chevy 5. Are they using entry level Firestone mechanics to test these motors? Good luck to those that keep their 5. Guru2T4QQ, go troll somewhere else. Your post is very unhelpful and pointless. Chevys have their own issues. Funny thing is that my oil burner will still out tow, out run and out last his Cheby.
I work with thousands of Chevy owners and the 5. If you have a chevy that's great for you and we are trying to keep these boards with helpful information and not just trying to upset others.
We are a community and try to work together and just ask for the same even if you just like all of us have other brand vehicles as I have 9 Fords that are great vehicles and a few mopars as well. Used to have a few GM's as well that were all good cars and most of them use oil. As the newer your vehicle the more chance you have of it using oil as manufacturers are trying to squeeze the more performance and mpg from these vehicles.
That's why many manufacturers are seeing increased oil consumption due to the higher vacuum source at the PCV to evacuate the crankcase better and seal the rings more is the root cause of oil ingestion through the PCV.
For the majority this is the cause and every once in a while you will see a design change to improve performance and economy that can cause issues until they get it perfected. I have seen many of the F have coating issues and it seems the trucks that were broken in a bit harder usually have the better ring seal. Either way please keep it clean and informative.
Thank you, Joe UPRproducts. Chevrolet is seeing a lot of oil burning issues due to an entirely different issue, its created by the cylinder deactivation method, causing coking of rings over time, til they will not work in the ring lands, creating massive oil consumption, plug fouling and eventual rebuild. Another engineering nightmare. I think it's funny that a guy can post something that's very irrelevant to the issue here and get such a response.
I bet He is setting back laughing his ASS off right now at all the comments coming in lol, very funny. I've asked very valid questions on this issue as well as advice on what to do with know response what so ever.
Plus Ford isn't going to do a Damn thing to fix the issue of every, in my opinion 5. Do you all know that they will no longer make the 5. I bet not or maybe some do. They're going to a 4. I bet they'll go back to the steel sleeves in the cylinders.
That will keep the weight down. Oh did you all know why they took the steel sleeves out? It was to shave a little weight off the truck WOW how ignorant is that? Wanted to share this. His dealer changed out the PCV valve and it fixed the issue. I will be checking with my dealership on this. I am really sorry to hear about this oil burning issue in such new expensive trucks, my best advice would be to trade in the vehicle as soon as possible.
Unless Ford installs new engines with cast iron cylinder sleeves again, the problem is not going away, longer dipsticks, duh, reprogramming pvc, duh. Once again funny how no one seems to see my post lol.
On the PCV valve it will not totally fix the issue, but it will slow it down to about two quarts per miles. GuruSVLL6 answered about a year ago. Can anyone tell me if they have sent a letter of demand through an attorney with any results? What is the purpose of your post? Buybacks occur with ALL makes of vehicles. There is a solution for the excessive oil consumption in the Ford F Get a hold of the local Ford dealership and ask about the Ford Special Service Message A they will fix this issue at no cost!
Please give more detailed information on what A is and what the dealer specifically did that fixed the problem. A link or picture to that message A would be helpful. Maybe someone can help me here, another owner of a F, 5. Almost 36, miles and two dealerships frigging with it with consumption test. First one put in PCV valve which seemed to slow the problem. Went to another dealer for oil change due to moving across the state and I asked them to check oil level before draining it and they said no oil on dipstick.
Am I supposed to buy that much oil in between to keep it full? Hell, at that rate, I may as well only change a filter here and there becUse oil will always be new!
GuruF answered about a year ago. I'm having the same problem with my Ford F purchased in Jan Check this out They reprogrammed the truck, changed the oil and replaced the dipstick. The nice lady said I might not be a genius but that sounds fishy!!!
I told her all the smart people Time to start the Lemon Law process. Changed oil and started consumption testing. Want me to come back every miles. Billy answered about a year ago.

Mobilla1 answered about a year ago. I bought a new in March of this year Engine is the 5L V8. After miles, I was down almost 1 quart. After reading these messages and feeling pretty bad I took it back to the dealer for this issue.
They did a full oil change, adjusted the computer setting and swapped the dip stick. I checked oil very regularly and the level held at the full line for the next miles. Now mileage is at 10k and no movement or oil use again. I drive around town, highway and haul a trailer. Really happy with this vehicle. I have a Ford eco boost that has been wasting a heck ton of oil.
Hal01 answered 11 months ago. Went in for refill of fluids at the Oil facility I use, 64k miles, V-8, was 2. They filled up, and 1k later it is another 1 qt low. Have a PCV valve ordered to replace, and going to change the oil myself since out of warranty. I see some using 50w Mobil. Is there a recommendation: 5w50 or just straight 50w?

When installing the PCV valve just start with the second from the smallest jet and you will be amazed at the difference in oil consumption. Alexander answered 10 months ago. I have a Ford F 5. Guru95MGF8 answered 9 months ago.
I also have a Ford F 5. I have been a Ford man all my life. It has 21, miles on it. The check oil level light came on checked it and was nothing on the stick. So I filled it and ran miles and was below the bottom hole on the stick.
Took it to dealer and put a longer dipstick in it. Totally pissed off!!!! Mobilla1 answered 9 months ago. Problem was fixed, truck uses no oil now. The dealer was aware of the issue. The remedy per the service slip was: Change oil, reset computer, swap out dip stick. Key Ford, York Maine. Love the truck, no other issues.

Just to share the facts about the problems with all F engines from the V6 to the V8. They, in fact, do burn a lot of oil brand new and you can go to the dealer and pull the hose off between the PCV and the intake manifold.
We see f's burn anywhere from quarts of oil. The norm is around ounces between oil changes will be sucked through the PCV system and get ingested into the intake manifold and degrades the octane rating and will even reduce MPG and engine performance. The first fix to slow oil ingestion is to go to a heavier weight oil until the engine is properly broken in and if the problem continues you can add motor honey and then you need a dealer to check that the cylinder wall coating did not wear off.
Then you can either keep the heavier weight or go back to the factory recommended. Just wanted to share and hope this helps a bit. Guru2SP2H answered about a year ago. I have been dealing with my f 5. If you are burning 1qt every miles that is excessive oil consumption according to Fords definition.
Go to the dealer and tell them you want them to do a oil consumption test. Don't play around with this, they will tell you it's a program issue.
Something as old-school and sloppy as a new model car burning too much oil is downright unacceptable. Oil burning should only happen to the vintage classics and diesels , not a Ford F Well, That is exactly why F owners are filing a class-action lawsuit.
Car Complaints reports that a class action lawsuit has been filed against Ford for Fs equipped with the 5. The trucks allegedly have a series of problems that are causing rampant oil consumption. Engines need oil to lubricate all the extremely hot moving parts. F owners are saying the oil consumption is leading to the engine stalling or failing without warning.
This means that while driving down the freeway at 70 mph, the engine could lock up, which would be extremely dangerous. Car Complaints reports that Ford allegedly hid this from consumers. Owners of these Fs are saying not only are their trucks dangerous, because of the loss of oil. The damage that happens internally when running an engine low on oil is catastrophic and often leads to virtually unfixable problems.
