Typically I run 5w20 PP in the 04 Escape but have discovered in the last 10k oci the valve cover gaskets are leaking. I think it's amounted to 1/2 quart over 10k but can't say for certain, drips on the oil filter and in turn drips on the front exhaust what a great smell. No intentions on fixing it for at least another 25k since I'll have to pull in the intake manifold, at least the back one anyways may do the front sometime this summer. Thinking about bumping it up to 5w30 PP but not sure if it'll help any. Even have thoughts about mixing in some HM. Thoughts?
