[QUOTE="swshawaii, post: 1047164, member: 67547"] Like [USER=61136]@EddieS'04[/USER] have the same RMS issue with my 2005. Not sure how much oil brand had an effect on it. Previous owner used only dino oil it's entire life until I bought it in 2009 @ 46,000 miles. Made the switch to full synthetic starting with NAPA (Valvoline). Very slight seep immediately appeared after making the switch and has gotten progressively worse. Only used full synthetic Pennzoil, Mobil 1, Castrol, and even WalMart's house branded SuperTech 5W-30 with Motorcraft FL-820S or Wix Gold/Platinum oil filters. Not a gusher, but annoying when it drips on the hot cat and having to wipe the ground every time I move the truck. Even tried a quart of Rislone RMS repair with marginal results. I'm not ready to pull the engine to replace a $10 seal and may even try switching back to conventional oil as a last ditch effort. Not expecting a fix but we'll see. [/QUOTE]
