Hello all, hope everything is well.
Well i am at a cross roads here on my engine. I am losing oil at a higher than normal rate. The stick was almost dry the other day on level ground and was within halfway of the service interval for oil changes.
So i changed the oil again. Checked the oil a couple of days later and im already half way on the threaded area of the dip stick. No leaks on the block anymore and Ford topped it off. My coolant overflow stays below the minimum mark warm or cold. Oil doesnt smell sweet or look milky. No blue smoke, had a witness check.
I have a 2016 Ford Focus ST @ 37575 miles
Oil Intervals: Every 4,000 miles i do full synthetic. Usually Castrol Edge or Amsoil since ive been having oil loss, ive moved the service schedule sooner.
Oil Filter used: Motorcraft FL 400s or 910s
Mods:
Depo 5.5 FMIC
Green Filter
NGK 6510 Spark Plugs
Mountune Turboback Exhaust
Cobb AP V3
Tune:
Stratified Stage 3 Flash
Tune Issues:
No issues anymore, DP was leaking but fixed. However my Cylinder 3 Neg Corr and Knock sensor will pick up -6 to -4 under light accelleration. Ruled out false knock after checking, runs perfectly fine under load or WOT.
