    GT350 High Oil Consumption

    I'm on the SVT Performance periodically and noticed this thread and thought I'd share. Sounds like more than a few Voodoo motors are having oil consumption issues. Some happy endings and some....not so happy it seems when it comes to getting the issue resolved.

    ^^^ think I'd be pretty upset if I dolled out $70+K for one of these bad boys to only have it start drinking oil and trip back to the dealer for a new long block....even if it was covered by warranty.

    Pulling off the track during Mustang at Mosport behind one, noticed the mosquito killer smoke out the back. Been out with two owners, for some reason they were both under the impression it's ok to let the engine spin at huge RPM even at lower speeds because of it's max RPM on the tach. Combine that with the factory 5w oil and no it's not a surprise they are having issues.

    What!? You know modern engines with tighter tolerances are engineered to run on water.
    “Normal oil consumption”.

    The voodoo doesn’t appear to have stellar history in general. It was one of the reasons I really wanted a coyote as they appear to be less problematic. That said, oil weight and changes are critical if you plan on running these hard.

    Oil consumption is definitely an issue on some voodoo motors. As ZR mentioned, the oil used plays a huge roll on how that motor performs. A 5W20 will not survive in that motor for more that a minute under those revs...I know maybe 2 minutes tops.

    My SRT Challenger required 0W40 and my current Q50 Red Sport requires 0W20! I said no way I will use that shit. 5W40 Motul 8100 XCess all the way. Changing the oil ever 8-10 k max.
