after blowing the motor in my 00'csvt and getting a factory rebuilt longblock. i used castrol synthitic 5w30 but i lossed 1 and a half to two quarts of oil every 1,500-2,000 miles. even after four oil changes after the inital break in period using regular factory motorcraft 5w30 i was still lossing oil some how.


since then i've run ford motorcraft 5w30 with less than a half a quart missing after 2,000 miles.for me ford motorcraft is the way to go.

i believe changing you oil on time every 3,000-3,500 miles is more important than the type of oil. dino vs. syn.
