USING OIL!!!

[strokerboy73]

Got a 95 f350 econoline van. with the 7.3l powerstroke. 140k miles. It uses oil.......i mean A LOT of oil. It used 2 quarts in a 100 miles. It only blows blue smoke when its cold......until it reaches normal operating tempt. but after that its fine. never blows any blue smoke when you get on it or anything. I was told that the turbo could be using the oil???? How do i find my problem???? any help would be great! Thanks

how is the air filter? If it is clogged it will suck oil outta the CCV....I had a similar situation on my old white obs and couldnt figure out where my oil was going lol

Fire the truck up, take the oil filler cap off the valve cover. How much blow is there.

Air filter is fresh. within in the last 500 miles. i will have to check for oil in the valley. but i think its pretty clean. doesnt leave any spots underneath it when its park.

i was going through that as well...i went through 7 GALLONS of oil in a month. Turned out the injectors were leaking internally. No blue smoke thing ran like a champ. Haven't had any oil consumption problems since i got it checked out and replaced two injectors.
