1 Engine Burning Oil problem

Failure Date: 02/19/2021

My 2020 Ford F-150 5. 0l v8 has an excessive oil consumption problem. The day I took it to get it's very first oil change (January 2021), before I drove it to the dealership to get changed, I checked the oil level and it was low. It only had 5k miles on it. They changed the oil and topped it off. When I checked it yesterday (February 19th, 2021), it was reading half full on the dipstick, with 6,600 miles on the vehicle.

2 Engine Burning Oil problem

Failure Date: 11/11/2020

Excessive oil consumption. I have already had the service applied from the technical bulletin, but not much relief from the loss of oil. I have to add at least a quart half way between oil changes. I would likely lose 2 quarts or more between oil changes in total. I have barely 5000 miles, �fix� applied at 2500 miles. At 5100 miles already over a quart low. Mostly city driving. Some pulling of smaller RV trailer. Trailer weight is 5800 pounds.

3 Engine Burning Oil problem

Failure Date: 04/22/2020

Oil consumption on the 5. 0 liter v8 engine. The engine is consuming oil without evidence of an oil leak. Ford has a TSB for this 19-2365 which covers year model 2018-2020. There are other tsbs for older year models with this same engine. Ford says less than 1 quart of oil consumed in 3000 miles or less is normal. Their fix is a longer and wider dip stick and a software update. This does not fix the oil consumption. There is a problem with the design of the engine block within the cylinders.
