1999 Ford Expedition, Get rid of 2 quart of oil a week. Sign In

Mad1999 Ford Expedition 2 wheel drive 4.6 liter engine 230,000 miles. gets rid of 2 quarts of motor oil a week, about 70 miles of in town driving. There are no oil spots on the garage floor, doesn't smoke when reving up and down the engine and I can't find any oily spots on the engine itself and no oil found in the radiator. Where is all that oil going? Jerry

If its not leaking, its got to be burning it. For your mileage per week thats some excessive loss.

A ford eng with a guarter of a million miles ? That kinda speaks for itself . Look carefully at back of car in ares of tailpipe for blackish sooty residue . Also you may want to pull plugs and give a looksee for sooty residue .
