Why am I losing oil through my exhaust?

Asked by GuruLNZMW Jun 24, 2020 at 06:51 PM about the 1999 Ford F-150

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I just replaced a 4.2, in a 1999 f150, with a 2005 4.2, but
had to use the 1999 intake. From the moment I fired it up,
theres constant smoke, when I shut it off, after maybe ten
minutes, its two quarts low on oil.

The engine is probably worn out. Make sure the PCV is working properly.
