Whipping that crank through oil will rob horsepower and milage

Yes see my post above #1254

Two things are at issue here. 1. Raised crankcase oil level causes air infiltration in the oil the end result poor lubrication to bearings and loss of horsepower resulting in lower mpg. 2. Reduced viscosity making oil out of spec per Fords requirement. IMO Just a matter of time before the...

Have they ever run a compression check?

I have 8659 miles on my 2019 lariat 2 wheel drive. My first oil change was at 2000 miles because I wanted to switch to mobil 1 full synthetic annual as it has a lower noack number to reduce deposits on the intake valve. I regularly change oil in my vehicles around 3000 miles my driving range...

Check the oil level. There is a thread where numerous owners are having issues with gas in the oil i suggest you check it out, good luck.

If no repairs are needed what is Ford going to do about over filled crankcase levels since by their own admission in the owners manual.

Wow a nice opportunity if the bronco has the same engine as the ranger. Check the oil let us know

Here in Oregon 92 octane has 10% ethanol however there are a couple of stations that do sell non ethanol

When you bring it in see if they will scope the intake valves I'm curious if all that fuel in your oil is helping to keep the valves clean. Good luck

Not true I suggest you try a simple experiment put an ounce of gas in a open container do the same with oil in a separate container and let them sit. Do this in a temperature controlled room. I know you will say the gas evaporated but it wasnt mixed with oil. Let us know what you find out.

The heart of the problem is raw gas in the oil, raised crankcase level where aeration of oil/gas will cause damage to the engine. The cause has yet to be determined.

Okay I will bite, what is the heart of the problem that you and Floyd think this thread isn't getting too.

Any gas in oil ?

It makes you wonder how they explain the fact that there are other 2.3eco ranger owners out there that aren't having the gas in oil issue

The amount of gas in the oil lowers the viscosity making it out of spec per Fords 5 - 30 range, it increases the level in the crankcase to where the crank will aerate the oil which will damage engine components because of lack of lubrication because of the introduction of air. Count your...

Check out the " fuel in oil " thread there are some unfortunate owners that have a significant amount of gas in the crankcase that it raises the level into the damage too the engine area.

Have you had any fuel in the oil issues

Except they are in contradiction with their owners manual on excess crank case level

Phil You have me beat 13.5:1 just spent 80 bucks for 5 gallons of 110 so I could take one of my grandsons for a ride. What's in your racecar? Mines a 400 ci buick in a 82 regal.
