I have an 05 ford ranger that burns oil, can you tell me why?
I have an 05 ford ranger that burns oil, can you tell me why?
No. I would first check the assumption that it "burns" oil, instead of drips oil.
Could be numerous reasons: bad piston rings, bad valve seals, etc.
An engine may be burning oil for a few different reasons. The two most common are because it is bypassing the piston rings, or leaking past the valve seals. Your piston rings seal the combustion gases inside your engine's cylinder so your engine will make the maximum power, but they also seal the engine oil out of the combustion chamber. If your engine's piston rings are worn out from high mileage or poor maintenance they can allow small amounts of oil past to be burnt during the combustion process.
That's what happens when the oil and filter are not changed every 3,000 miles. Tarnish and then sludge builds up in the motor and causes the piston rings to seize on the pistons which causes the motor to burn oil.
It's a 13 year old car with worn valve stem seals and probably worn piston oil control rings too.
Coz it's a Ford
I can give you many reasons why an engine might burn oil, but I can't tell you why your car burns oil without inspecting it.
Drop it round and I can have a look.
Lots of reasons could be the cause.
How much stripping do you want to do?
It is worn out, and this is a new account as of today with no details. Spambot.
Are you sure it's not leaking oil? My truck was leaking oil from the driver's side valve cover gasket. It's common for the 3.0 liter engine to leak oil there. My 1994 truck doesn't burn oil.
- How to tell if you have good oil pressure without a guage? My guage will not work for nothing. I have changed the oil pressure sensor and still nothing… Anyways, the engine purrs like a kitten when engine temp is cool… When it gets warm however, it starts ticking/tapping and develops a miss. I wanted to check the oil pressure when it warmed up to see what it was running… However, I don't know how without a guage. Any ideas? Its a 2000 ford ranger 4wd with a 4.0L V6.
- If you have enough money, can you have a new classic car built? Like can I pay to have ford build me a 1970 Mustang? Lets say I don't want to buy an old car and restore it, I want a 1970 but straight off the factory line. Can you have a car built with the old style frame, engine, trans, etc?
- If you have a judgment against you on your credit report will you still be able to buy a house? Judgment is from 2008 and it's from Ford motor credit on mileage when we turned in a leased vehicle
- Is it normal my 2013 ford focus st burns 11.6 l/100km? On my digital dash board it says I'm Burning 11.6l/100km. I mostly put supreme gas 91 I barely use 94 very reare
