Burning oil only on the highway
I contacted the old owner about it given he said it didn't burn and apparently he used a gallon of Lucas in the oil so yeah probably another motor in the future will post if anything changes- 100branson

Burning oil only on the highway
Added some of that auto rx to the oil along with 3 quarts of Valvoline and a new air filter now I see blowby when I take the oil cap off or the dipstick. Can a dirty air filter make you burn oil?- 100branson

With the new CDR on there's no back pressure now when you pull the cdr off and test it from the back of the engine theres alot. I'm not sure it's getting to temp the gauge says no but the radiator and heater sure feel like it's getting up to 200 I'll checking it without a temp gun- 100branson

Burning oil only on the highway
Hello, everyone New to this forum although I've been looking through it about everyday. I just bought a 1989 f350 4x4 it sat for couple months before I got it but the owner before me swears it didn't burn oil but, words are cheap. Well 3 hours drive home after buying it I was low on oil...- 100branson
