[QUOTE="Adam Smith, post: 999075, member: 59024"] Just got back from having my mechanic do an oil change on my '04 SportTrac Flexfuel with 100,000 miles. I/he has kept it maintained since I bought it new, Mobil 1 Fully Synthetic 5W30 wt. and Motorcraft filter change every 5K mi. It was down almost 2 qt. and he says it's likely Valve Stem Seals getting hard and allowing oil to blow by and eventually out the exhaust. 20 hours and $3K is the estimate. He said to check the oil in 1K mi. Anyone seen this before? I like the truck and would like to keep it. Thanks. [/QUOTE]
