5.0 Oil usage

Pony434 · 08-15-2007

I have about 70K on my 94 GT which I bought in April when I changed the oil the last two times it would appear that i was about 3/4 of a quart low, is it common for this engine to use that much oil in 3,000 miles?
I also just had a new centerforce II series clutch installed, new flywheel, throwout bearing etc but the car is still making a chirping noise, my mechanic said the only thing he could think of was a new fork? Any input would be great!

With 70K on the clock, that might be right.......rings may be getting a bit week.

As far as the chirping, when is this happening? During driving, just hard launching, starting the car?

the noise is present until you push in the clutch a little- or all the way even at highway speeds the noise is still there. Does it pay to add parts to this motor or should i put the money aside and work on a new one?

I would probably just save for a rebuild kit and go from there........
