As the title states, what is everyone seeing in terms of oil consumption from their new 5.0's? Mine just rolled over 1600 miles and the oil is down to the lower mark on the dip stick.

Here's the type of Break-in the car has seen so far:

Kept it in the city for the most part, lots of heat cycles, lots of varied RPM's. For the first 600 miles there was quite a few roll on wot runs to around 4500 - 6000 rpm in 2nd gear mostly. Always waited for the operating temps to get up there before giving it some gas.

Hit the soft limiter four or five times now and ran it thru the gears, ***** out (up to 5th) once. Most of the time it's only made it up to 3rd gear in a "spirited" run.

Talked to Ford about it and they told me to keep an eye on it and let them know if it keeps up.

 

Had it changed already right? if so was the correct amount put back. These cars run wiyh 7 quarts unless I'm mistaken.

 

Nope, don't plan on changing it for a while. Oil life monitor is currently showing 85%.

 

Close; it's 8 quarts.
