After the last couple of weeks talking to all the people who ring and ask about SC kits from all around the earth I have learned that apart from sheer bad luck like oil filter failure a lot of people are not checking their engine oil once in a while. Its not like they consume much but they need all of it all the time, running low and giving them some hard work means the 3.0 nearly goes terminal immediately
I have been told directly by owners of 4 different cases of total engine failure due to low oil levels (last 2 weeks alone). Appalling when you think about the cost of working on these engines and they arent exactly out there by the dozen to pick up as a replacement engine either.
If this post saves another 3.0 from going terminal then it will have achieved its aim
My car doesnt use a drop but I know that because I check it every 2 weeks regardless.
Have you checked the engine oil level in your 3.0 lately????????????? Did this post maybe save you a super expensive engine lesson???????
