Summary
Some 2018-2020 F-150 vehicles equipped with a 5.0L engine may exhibit excessive oil consumption of greater than 1L (1 quart) in 4,800 km (3,000 mi) with no visible oil leaks. This may be due to high intake manifold vacuum during some deceleration fuel shut off (DFSO) events resulting in oil being pulled into the combustion chamber from the crankcase, valve guides, and positive crankcase ventilation (PCV). To correct the condition, follow the Service Procedure steps to reprogram the powertrain control module (PCM), install a new engine oil level indicator and change the engine oil and oil filter. The revised PCM calibration reduces engine vacuum during some DFSO events.

Service Procedure
NOTE: Oil usage is normally greater during the first 16,000 km (10,000 mi) in service. As distance traveled increases, oil usage generally improves.
- Inspect the engine for visible oil leaks. Are any oil leaks present?
(1). Yes – this article does not apply. Refer to the Workshop Manual (WSM), Section 303-00.
(2). No – proceed to Step 2.
- Is the vehicle built on or before 04-Oct-2019?
(1). Yes – replace the engine oil level indicator. Proceed to Step 3.
- Note: The new oil level indicator uses a wider 1.9 liter (2 quart) normal operating range. This engine has been fully tested and validated for performance and durability with the oil level within this operating range.
(2). No – proceed to Step 3.
- Drain the engine oil and replace the oil filter.
(1). Fill the engine with oil to bring the oil level up to the MAX fill line on the oil level indicator.
NOTE: Advise the customer that this vehicle is equipped with an adaptive transmission shift strategy which allows the vehicle’s computer to learn the transmission’s unique parameters and improve shift quality. When the adaptive strategy is reset, the computer will begin a relearning process. This relearning process may result in firmer than normal upshifts and downshifts for several days.

Service Procedure
For repairs covered by the New Vehicle Limited Warranty, completion of the procedure outlined in this TSB does not require obtaining Prior Approval or completion of a Cost Cap.
- Visually inspect for engine oil leaks. Are any visible leaks present?
(1). Yes – this article does not apply. Refer to the Workshop Manual (WSM), Section 303-01D.
(2). No – proceed to Step 2.
- Replace the positive crankcase ventilation (PCV) valve. Refer to WSM, Section 303-08D.
- Drain the engine oil and remove and replace the oil filter.
- Fill the engine with 7.4L (7.8 quarts) which is 1L (1 quart) less than the specified fill level.
NOTE: Make sure the vehicle is positioned on a level surface.
- Run the engine for 3 minutes if hot or 10 minutes if cold. Turn off the engine. Allow for a minimum 15 minute drainback period and record the oil level shown on the oil level indicator by placing a mark on the backside of the oil level indicator.
- Add the final 1L (1 quart) to complete the normal oil fill. Restart the engine and allow it to idle for 2 minutes. Turn off the engine.
- After a 15 minute drainback period, record the location of the oil level by placing a mark on the oil level indicator at the new oil level location.
NOTE: Do not use the factory oil level indicator markings for the oil consumption test. Use only the markings applied to the oil level indicator in Steps 5 and 7.
- Explain to the customer the factory-calibrated marks on the oil level indicator are where the oil should fall after an oil change with the specified fill amount. Explain this may vary between MIN-MAX or the upper and lower holes on the oil level indicator.
- Record the vehicle mileage.
- Advise the customer that oil level indicator readings must be taken every 320 km (200 mi) or weekly, using the revised marks as drawn on the oil level indicator. Remind the customer the engine needs a minimum 15 minute drainback for an accurate reading and the oil level indicator must be firmly seated in the tube prior to taking the reading.
- When the subsequent indicator readings demonstrate a 1 full liter (1 quart) has been used, record the vehicle mileage. Consider the drive cycle the vehicle has been operated under when making this calculation. It may be necessary to have the customer bring the vehicle in for a periodic oil level indicator reading to closely monitor oil usage.
(1). If the vehicle has traveled at least 4,800 km (3,000 mi) and oil consumption has not met or exceeded 1L (1 quart), the vehicle is operating normally and no repairs should be performed.
NOTE: Use only the marks applied to the oil level indicator during Steps 5 and 7 for oil consumption measurements. This is a more precise measurement that eliminates any variability in the markings on the factory oil level indicator.
- Measure the distance between the mark made in Step 7 and the current oil level on the oil level indicator. Record this measurement in millimeters, the current vehicle mileage obtained in Step 11, and the beginning mileage recorded in Step 9 on the repair order.
- Does the oil consumption measured exceed 1L (1 quart) in 4,800 km (3,000 mi) or less?
(1). Yes – proceed to Step 14.
(2). No – vehicle is operating normally, no further repairs are necessary. Repair is complete.
- Replace the engine long block assembly and prepare the original engine to be returned for analysis. Refer to WSM, Section 303-01D.
