Consumer Description

This vehicle has only been serviced at Ford since our purchase. We have not noticed any leaks after having the oil change in April 2024; however, we have noticed and reported in the past to the Advisor the rattling/ticking coming from the engine while the vehicle is running but nothing was was mentioned by the technician/Service Advisor after having vehicle serviced until recently. We took the truck in to be checked after noticing the check engine light came on. It was at this time the Service Advisor mentioned while there was no evidence the oil was leaking it appeared to have no oil in the truck. The Service Advisor at the Ford dealership mentioned the technician investigated and stated the oil was being absorbed into the engine and that the engine needed to be replaced.
