They wanted to refill it and monitor consumption (that was the service advisors comment). Then when I was watching the mechanic refil the oil I spoke to the head mechanic dude?? and he said hell no and told me to ignore what the service advisors say as they are *&^%$##^. They now have the car and are doing tests to find out what is wrong. They gave me another turbo to drive so all is good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Compression in all cylinders was good. Ford changed oil as they think the wrong stuff might have gone in from factory?? We will see!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
