Stang is burning oil.

[Skidzz]

My '96 GT just hit 90k miles. I've noticed that she's started burning about a quart of oil between changes. There is no smoke at all from the engine or tail pipes, and she still runs great. Also, no leaks that I can see. Anyone have any idea why it would be burning oil? Is it time to start thinking about saving for that forged short-block?

Hmm, actually I've never done that in the 3 years I've owned it. Hadn't thought about that...

I read that and looked at your avatar, what a match.

Yeah, replace your pcv valve, probably will help, can't hurt, your probably overdue.

Chuck Norris once had a testicle quantity competition with Lance Armstrong.



Chuck took the win by 3.

It could be valve seals I was burning off about 3/4 of a quart between oil changes once I hit the 90k mark on my 2000 GT. It didn't really hurt anything long as you watched the oil level. Unfortunately the valve seals on the stock heads suck.

I dont care what kind of forum I get on,gaming,cars,or guitars....everyone has to start up with the Chuck Norris crap....what is with all that.

On a side note he does have a nice house/ranch...he lives 30-45mins away from me....he runs around town often...or used to anyway.
