Truck is using oil

[Barney0024]

My 7.3 is using 2-2.5 quarts of oil over 5000 miles on the last two changes.it didnt use any before that. It is not leaking.

Motor has 29,000 on it. Any ideas where its going?

29,000? fresh motor or typo? anyway, i'd look at usual suspects, injectors, or oring leakage, and trubo, etc.


just saw the fresh motor in sig

i looked in the valley and checked high pressure lines. no evidence of leaking there. im guessing its in the head then. im not taking it apart. ford can do that

2.5 quarts over 5k isnt nothing to worry about I would think. I believe I have read they can use up to a quart every 1k miles. I know alot of motors now adays are like this

Sounds like injector O-rings. Check fuel filter housing for signs of oil.
