My 2015 6.2 was just in the shop for a TSB related to oil consumption. Needed a new baffle? and valve cover along with 8new spark plugs. Just happened to notice it during a routine check. Was about 1.5 quarts low into a 2500 mile oil change. Couldn't find anything on it when I searched so thought I would make a post to warn others. Happy 4th.

 

Dang! Thats no good.

 

can someone post this TSB, or at least the years affected.

 

WHY only 8 spark plugs.. the 6.2 has 16 spark plugs.???????????


always check oil level... anytime the truck is serviced...


they do not use bottled oil... a power pump and a gauge... so, could be to little .. could be to much....


I guess you missed a post 2 weeks ago.. truck went into Ford dealer for its First oil change.. shop forgot to put oil back in.. drove truck a few miles..
dealer will NOT replace engine.... just some kind of aftermarket warranty..

 

Anyone?

I check my oil a lot and have no consumption issues so far 135k.

 

TSB 15-0161 is what my paperwork says. It also states 16 plugs were changed along with right side valve cover. Guy on phone mentioned 8 plugs were ruined by the oil leak, probably where I came up with that number.

This has nothing to do with incorrect amount of oil being added. Motor was consuming oil.

 

I was not saying yours...


just the service people might receive...


your vehicle ... not just you.. everyone... check the work others do for you.

 

I always change my own and is how I first noticed it. Poured the drained oil into a 5 qt. jug and didn't fill it up. Started watching it after that.

But yeah never trust a ship. I know several guys who "mark" their filters.

I'm sure there are a lot of guys with a 6.2 who have no idea this is an issue with some 2015's.

 

Im not able to find this TSB anywhere on line. Can someone post it possibly?

 

Mine doesn't use a drop between oil changes every 5k.

 

Same here. Only 30k miles but no oil consumption thus far.

 

My 2012 has used oil on one occasion. I have never seen it budge since then but still check it. I don't change my own oil but I bring my own oil and filter (Ford) to a local shop. $10 bucks and he does it. (81k miles)

I routinely check my vehicles for consumption. Usually about 1500 miles.

My 08 5.7l Charger drinks a quarter of synthetic by 3k miles if I let it but runs likes a top. I just add half a quart at 1500 and take the synthetic Royal Purple to 5k intervals. (90k miles)

They really shouldn't use oil, a little is normal.

If you are in warranty, sure get it fixed, otherwise just keep it topped off make sure no leaks or smoke.
