akirby Posted November 13, 2014 Report Share Posted November 13, 2014 That's because the details are in Ford's OASIS system. You'd need a dealer or dealer contact to print it out for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWWPerfA_ZN0W Posted November 13, 2014 Report Share Posted November 13, 2014 (edited) My guess would be a redesigned valve cover is involved, not unlike the solution for EcoBoost models. PM thirdgenlxi (Jared) for help, he can get the info for you (if he doesn't see this thread first). Make 4 more posts in the test forum to get to the min 5 post requirement to use the PM feature. This is what I was thinking of: TSB 14-0113 FORD: 2010-2014 Flex, Taurus2013-2014 Explorer LINCOLN: 2010-2014 MKS, MKT ISSUE Some 2010-2014 Flex, MKS, MKT, Taurus and 2013-2014 Explorer vehicles equipped with a 3.5L GasolineTurbocharged Direct Injection (GTDI) engine with an aluminum valve cover may exhibit excessive oil consumption and/orexcessive engine oil smoking condition from the tail pipe at idle during normal engine operating temperatures.
