Subject: 92 Aerostar 3.0 V6. Miles 128,000 beginning of ARX, 141,600 end. This included two treatments and two rinses. Each run 3000 miles, but last rinse cut short at 2600 miles due to a failed oil pan seal. Had the pan seal replaced yesterday at the shop. Struck me I should have looked at the pan, so I called the shop and asked. They asked the mechanic who did the job and I heard him in the background "the pan was real clean--spotless, and so was the pickup."
No way could this be the case at 140,000 miles on a 92 engine that often saw only 3000 miles in 6 months, included a lot of short trip operation, and consumed a quart every 1000 to 1300 miles.
