I doubt it would cause any harm and possibly prevent your problem ! either that or drive up and reverse out ?

luk77y Member 12 Member For: 15y 2m 18d Gender: Male Posted 18/10/10 11:27 AM Author Share Posted 18/10/10 11:27 AM I doubt it would be doing any vehicle much good parking like that all the time. But regardless, short of re-arranging the sump it's not something you'll be able to get around.The "starting to get really annoyed with this piece of crap quality build... the car is rubbish" is a bit harsh, thus explaining the reaction you're getting from the above helpful gents.Seriously mate, this is second time round for running into astoundinly poor build quality from Ford. Last time round it was BA XR6 that was total junk.This time it's a 2010 FG XR6T, interior head-lining is falling down, interior molds are ajar, engine has rough idle on start, premium sound is utter crap, ford service honestly suck! .. it's a f&*ing disgrace! (20K)Oh and now you have to be careful where the bloody thing is parked! Unfortunately ive got this care for two years... sorry to be so blunt, after running multiple JAP built cards, the quality IS NOT THERE.

Posted 18/10/10 11:49 AM Share Posted 18/10/10 11:49 AM (edited) It will be the fact that the oil is all down the back or front of the sump thus causing the crankshaft to hit the oil as it rotates.it is not a probelm as when you level the car out the oil levels off thus no probelm.this is not only a ford thing alot of inline six motors do it due to length of sump and oil reqiured to keep enough in sump while motor is running.Ian Edited 18/10/10 11:52 AM by GOLDIE Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/71130-fg-cold-engine-knock/page/3/#findComment-1048694 Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluprinturbo Donating Members 605 Member For: 17y 1m 4d Gender: Male Location: brisbane Posted 18/10/10 07:19 PM Share Posted 18/10/10 07:19 PM my 08 navara str 4 x 4 does this. when parked reversed up a steep drive it says oil is low on start up then rattles like a bitch. simple fix, I merely roll down the drive without starting the vehicle, once levelled out I then start it. no problem. im still happy with the vehicle. luk77y, this is one disadvantage of the oil pickup placement, but, what happens to the oil when you are going forward full throttle? it heads to the back of the sump. you must have been unlucky with your fords as ive owned an 03 ba-t and now my 08 fg-t and I love these cars. no-one likes someone coming on a ford forum where we are all xr6-t enthusiasts and bagging the things. do you own your vehicle or are you leasing it. sounds like your leasing it to me. you are a prime Late model camira candidate.

I will revert to tranny's initial post, don't park like that -)On the Ford bashing, it's just irritating more than anything - the engine is an absolute beast! just wish the quality and ford service was above par.The initial concern was if this had the potential to cause major engine problems.
