full synthetic oil goes dark far before it's time to be replaced. ive seen it get dark within 1-2k miles but its good for up to 10k. (would not suggest but that's what it's rated for) keep in mind
The 5.0L Ford F-150 have a TSB for Oil Consumption. You need to update (Reprogram) the PCM module to latest calibration and change the oil dipstick to the updated style. Common Problem. Also, if you get a p0012, p0014, p0011, chances are its the VCT Oil Solenoid on those 5.0L trucks not the phaser as there is a SSM out for this as well.
Shame that the old style garages don’t exist anymore. Those guys saved more motors than anything when they checked customers oil when they filled up on gas.
I subscribed so I could support a mechanic who is honest with their customers and fair to them and Matthew Parker fits that bill. Good Luck and safe travels. Love the videos.
The 18-20 F-150s with the 5.0 are notorious for oil consumption. Mine burns around a quart per thousand. Sucks! This guy is going to have to learn to keep an eye on it.
There’s a TSB out for it. Due to high intake manifold vacuum during decel it pulls oil into the combustion chamber. Ford does a pcm update reducing intake vacuum and an updated dipstick with a wider range.
I wonder how much he makes as a mobile mechanic. You would think that people would have to pay a premium for the convenience of someone coming to you to fix your car outside instead of taking it a well appointed garage like normal. It seems to me it's always the people looking for the cheapest fix possible who call up the mobile tech though.
He could have got a new battery installed without the data being saved and the throttle body went back to its factory idle setting not adjusted to carbon build up around the throttle body so it dies from lack of air when at idle. Just clean the throttle body out real good or wait for the throttle motor to relearn how much gap to give it at idle
I watch u all the time on facebook reels. I finnally had someone help me find your RU-vid and full videos , and I am subscribed and following you now , good job with the videos my friend ..
He would do a live stream with questions and answers he’ll he could charge money for a membership and host a members only live stream or something he’s so intelligent when it comes too vehicles. Keep up the good work !
Bro ive had two or three vehicles at my shop in the last 6 months because they were low on oil! Same issues i tell my customers change every 3000 miles and check once a week!
Definitely phasers going out. Been there done that on 05 5.4 I had. They made it lot simpler of a job now to. I just rember being told use oem phasers cause after markets were not holding up.
Random unrelated story: My work place has these work vans that like to die randomly at stops. Long story short, the + terminals like to accumulate dust, so the terminals like to literally pop off.
You never know. He's in an apartment. A lot of apartments don't allow you to do maintenance on their property. Also being in an apartment, he's clearly keeping a lot in the truck. Keeping a pan could just be another thing that jsut isn't worth it.
Some places are. In my city i can do a a synthetic oil change for 45 even at my auto shop vs spending 48-50 dollars to buy the same stuff at the store. It most certainly can be cheaper.
Nissan quest van had timing chain rattling the oil was low causing timing chain rattling the tension is oil feed just added oil no more timing chain rattling
Or Jiffy Lube hiring people who have no business changing oil. There are videos on here about those places draining the oil and then NOT refilling it back with oil. You paid them to change the oil, not just to drain the oil.
@@AF-ib8ecI've heard the horror stories about these quick oil places. I know stealer ships aren't better but they have a reputation to keep as well as a mom and pop auto shop. It costs more but I'd rather have that assurance.
I watch a few different mechanics. I cant believe....the amount of people that have NO OIL in their freaking motor. Its the number 1 thing to check and keep up on! Every motor all of these machanics check....has little, to no oil. Wtf?! I dont get it.
