V6 less than 5mpg... help.

7.5qts?? You're using more oil than the 4.7 2uz in my gx

 

Where do you get 7.5 quarts from?

 

Definitely trolling at this point

 

Drained the engine oil but using the ATF dip stick to check engine oil level? Hmmm, after 7.5qts and the level mark isn't moving, I think it's good.

 

These trucks should only take 5.5 quarts to fill. 7.5 would be way too much

 

Supposedly it's a 5spd MT. Math ain't mathin

 

Custom, extra deep, +2qts aftermarket engine oil pan.....

 

that would make sense as the oil pan looks much newer than everything else on the motor, and way less rusty.

and ill tell you what real oil consumption is like, back when i got my 50 ford f5 tow truck and got it running for the first time since 88 and it got 2 mpg and used a gallon of motor oil every 7-9 miles and the truck was always followed by a huge blue smoke cloud before i drove it to school in jan of 21, ran it out of oil and it wouldn't idle so i could top it off and the batterys died so i ran it out of oil and drove it for another 5 miles and blew it up in my highschool parking lot.

 

speaking of that i need to wire it up soon with the new engine.

 

Does anyone here have a tdi swapped taco?
If so could you give me a approximate mpg so i can decide if the swap is worth it for my truck.

 

Also i made some patches for the frame and made them large enough to extend to the good metal on the frame for a good weld.
