I have just over 150,000 miles on my 5. 3 liter v8 I constantly have to add oil and have had to since I bought this truck with 124,253 miles on the odometer. I generally add 2 quarts a month. I have brought this issue to my local dealership and have been told rhis is allowance. The oil pan gasket, rear main seal, valve cover gaskets, valve covers, the valve seats, and piston rings are all showing degraded signs. I worked as a mechanic for a short time. I am also a retired logistical transportation operator from the army . I have never know this to be in allowance. I understand that some of these issues are at owners responsibility. I just want to make it kniwn that everyone I kniw with this year model truck have tge same exact problems. Unfortunately this vehicle does have a salvaged title.
