Meh - this thread isn't going anywhere

 

Where um, were you expecting it to go?

 

I checked my level and it's about half way between full and empty so about 1/4 quart low at about 2,000miles on the original oil. That's not too bad especially seeing how much oil collects in the oil collector I put in.

Just got the Boss back from the dealer... Ford Engineering specs that, "since these cars are made to be driven hard and most likely are driven hard, 1-qt every thousand miles is normal."

I guess I just have to check it. (btw, I baby it. It spends 90% of its time in stop and go traffic.)

 

That sucks, but at least you now know why!

The last time I've babied my car, i ended up having nothing but problems with it, resulting in getting rid of it I intend on driving this car every which way! except into a wall or something

 

If you drive it hard it will use less oil.

 

Shame on you! You're killing that great engine.



Dennis' (denlem) GT was using a lot of oil too. Dealer had no real solution. Finally Dennis went on vacation where it was a several hour freeway drive. Engine finally got to run. His oil consumption issue went away.

Yep mine isn't using any!

 

good read... I wonder If I need to run it more...
Oddly enough, I checked it a while back, mid oil change and no usage (that was noticeable). After my 4 drive was when I noticed it. I'm sure that was just coincidence. I'm going to check it more often either way.

 

Almost to 3,000 miles - still dead center on the dipstick.

I don't beat on it, but if there's a Camaro or Challenger around, I make sure they know they drive ***** mobiles.

I guess it should also be noted that my drive to work is an hour - all highway, so there's not much stop/go.
