Yes I did search. Does the Duratech smoke when burning small amounts of oil? I seem to be missing 3 quarts.

3 quarts is an aweful lot of oil to loose, you need to get that checked out ASAP. The Duratec has a reputation for NOT burning oil. Check the simple things first; drain plug, oil filter, etc.

I am going to do a compression check tomorrow and see. I have a feeling I cracked a ring. I am a little down on power.
