In addition, it was the time interval. There was one section where I was going across northern Nevada for 350 miles without stopping. The truck was doing minimum 85(80mph limit) and more, the entire time. Hot (above 100) and dry, also. This isn't like driving the east coast, where you might run up to that for half a minute and then back down. An engine under constant big boost for that long is going to use oil.I am well aware of the TSB. At this point, I do not believe it is falling under that. As I said, it didn't use oil before or after that. Those TSB engines lose 5-6 quarts in 200-300 miles, and then usually blow. Because of that TSB, on this trip, I was checking the oil every stop. If it was down even a little, I added.
Even though I am very interested in data from other types of Ecoboosts and TGDI's, I think the 2.7 engine is it's own entity, based on the other 2.7 UOA's I have seen. We'll see.
Stay tuned.I am going to do a few more UOA's on both trucks over the next months. I appreciate all the suggestions.
