can the amount of oil burning indicate how much life is left in my truck?
2000ranger, 2.5l mt 2wd at 275,000mi on odometer
truck burns about half a quart every 1000miles
i dont see any oil leaking so from what i understand it is leaking through the worn out cylinders to be burned with the fuel?
any other indicators on the lifespan of engine?
also... do i check engine oil level when vehicle sits cold or after heating up engine. i googled it and could not find a clear answer
also also also i got a P0171 running lean... is that related to burning oil? im hoping the code will go away when we switch to summer blend.
