Question
mtreno
ok i have a 2000 Ford f-250 with the 6.8 liter motor. somewhere around 70k miles the
Jiffy Lube boy talked me into using a synthetic motor oil. around 100k i noticed that the
oil level was always low when i checked so i started adding about 1 qt every third tank.
when back at Jiffy Lube a ask the new boy what the deal was and he went on to explain to
me that you cannot move to a synthetic after so many miles and who told me to do that in
the first place...... After we chatted about that for awhile we went on to explain that my
seals have gone bad due to the oil and the engine is burning it. he also said that i cannot
move back to normal oil because it will cause more issues. the dealer quote for a seal job
was off the charts because they have to remove the motor from the truck to get the job
done. anyway so now it seems to be burning more and more oil. we are up to one qt
every tank. i would really like to go back to normal oil and start burning like Napa oil
at$1 then this synthetic at $5 a qt.
any thoughts on why i could not just make the change back?
what would you do if your truck was going thru this much oil?
