Description of the problem | This is in referance to odi number 10030637 i have drained the oil out of the engine and have found aluimum shavings in the oil, this is a rebuilt engine with just 45,797 miles on it and i had this problem fo a whilethis is a lemon of a vecheil and i hope that the ford motor company will fix this engine as i have taken very good care to change the oil when needed at about 3,000 miles every time and it only had 50 miles on the rebuilt engine on it so i think that 45,797 mile is not enough milage to need a engine to do this.
