Not necessarily all of of them, but there sure seems to be quite a few that are using a lot of oil. I may not be a Ford engineer, but I've been working on and around cars for a long freaking time and swilling 2 or 3 quarts of oil in a few thousand miles and smoking out of the tail pipes is not normal in my book. Definitely not in a brand new $40K car, and if they told me that it was, we would have be having a major malfunction between us.

Snicker. I'm lucky to get 5000 miles on my rears and that's only on the One Lap. Usually less than 3000

I bought mine at 10,700 miles so I have no experience to add, but that sure looks weird to me.

Like a lot of you, I'm wary of "it's normal to burn oil that much" but if you follow some of the different long-term road test blogs out there (like Edmund's, for example), they're constantly adding oil to almost every one of their cars, no matter the make.

In 11,000 miles owning mine, I haven't had to add a drop of oil, nor have I ever had to in any car I've owned, with zero engine problems ever.

You know and here all this time I questioned whether or not it was smart to drive the car hard at such low mileage.

You guys are funny... dive them hard! That's what warranty is for! Why do you baby them so the will last longer before the break and then they are out of warranty??
