My dad has a 2005 ranger with the 2.3 engine and recently it starting losing oil somewhere.It will go down almost a quart within a week (about 150 miles)He has a check engine light and he took it to ford and they thought the pvc valve was plugged so they replaced it and the truck was fine for a few days and then the CEL came back on and the oil went back down.They did a compression check and it has 170 pounds on all cylinders and the spark plugs they said were clean when they pulled them so its back to square one.Its really been a mystery of where the oil is going.When it sits for a day or two there are no puddles under it and nothing noticeable comes out the exhaust when its running which would back up the clean spark plugs.Is there something were missing on these engines.I would rather have the lima 2.3 any day over these.
