why does my Ford Mustang S650 (2024-Present) have excessive oil consumption?

Solution

1. Preparation

• Gather necessary tools and parts.
• Ensure the vehicle is on a level surface.
• Disconnect the battery to prevent any electrical issues.

2. Replace PCV Valve

• Remove the old PCV valve:
  • Locate the PCV valve on the engine.
  • Disconnect the hoses attached to the PCV valve.
  • Twist and pull the valve out of its socket.
• Install the new PCV valve:
  • Insert the new valve into the socket until it clicks in place.
  • Reattach the hoses securely.

3. Address Oil Leaks

• Identify and repair leaks:
  • Use a degreaser to clean the engine area before inspection.
  • Replace any damaged gaskets or seals found during the visual inspection.
  • Tighten any loose bolts or fittings that may be leaking oil.

4. Perform Engine Rebuild (if necessary)

• If compression tests indicate severe wear:
  • Remove the engine from the vehicle.
  • Disassemble the engine, inspecting all components for wear.
  • Replace piston rings, gaskets, and any worn parts as necessary.
  • Reassemble and reinstall the engine, ensuring all bolts are torqued to specification.
