Message: [QUOTE="tomlin, post: 1548578, member: 13915"] I recently went through a similar situation. I have a 38R with very low mileage. My findings were, unusual, to say the least. I also have the Motorcraft Severe Duty air filter kit. Well, mice decided to enter the filer box through the intake in the grille. They proceeded in pissing and ****ting around the base of the filter until it basically started plugging it up. I found this by noticing the filter minder being tripped. Basically oil was being pulled from the crankcase due to the filter being blocked. At least that is my hypothesis. I changed the filter, changed the oil and reset the minder and life has been good every since. Oil level has not moved on the stick. [/QUOTE]
