On the first oil change of our new truck, the dealer told us there was gas in the oil. They told us not to worry and just put some miles on it. In April, the check engine light came on and we took it in. Same thing. Gas in the oil. Gave us a free oil change and told us it was ok to drive. Is it safe to drive and not going to hurt the truck? The service dept. Says that it is an ongoing problem with this truck, but I just read that this could cause an explosion. Can I change the oil myself?

Yes it would be a good idea to change the oil because all engine have gas in the oil as part of the combustion process but if the injector has a problem it can dump too much gas which needs to be fixed before allowing the engine to run. Here is a step by step guide with diagrams and insticion below to show you how on your car.

F-150 I have a 2007 model with 25,000 miles and inadvertently not timely change oil change and worsen motor to sound, was diagnosed motor repair and complete repair and the vehicle in cold works fine but when it reaches normal temperature operating the engine begins to sound and becomes unstable, if it works well but is accelerating in stop or traffic lights, the problem becomes. If I try just disconnecting the VCT is the problem, change the VCT by new and ongoing problem, check all the parameters of the VCT and are perfect, the normal oil pressure is taken at the pump.

We attempted to reprogram the PCM (powertrain control module) and there is a higher version in the diagnostic equipment that allows it and do a forced rescheduling and made a road race in which normal operation, but we turned off and turned on the vehicle and return the problem.

I would like your views on this, if you know you may be going with that engine, I have seen in various internet forums user complaints about noise problems in the engine of the F-150.

Also if you know how we can reprogram a PCM
