Seems like you are doing it right as far as I can tell.
The valve seals arrived May 2017 and were installed July 2017. ( ordered May 2016 ). Ford gave me a $2000 credit to be spent at my dealership. I put the credit towards a new set of tires. They asked that I should start logging mileage and oil consumption in a book. The car was parked in October for the winter and wont be on the road till April 2018. In the 1645 miles that I drove from the time it was repaired It has consumed 3.5 quarts of oil or one quart per 475 miles.
Actually I had switched over to motorcraft last spring. I do oil changes when the car asks for one. Bought 8 cases of motorcraft and have 4 left!!Read up on both oils and found they are both good quality.I have some lucas on order to try next. If anything I used more oil than usual since having the valve seals done however those measurements are from the cooler months. I will continue logging it all of next year and see how the consumption is affected by temps as I daily it April-October.
That's horseshit. Sorry that you're going through this. I don't think most dealers have a clue what they are doing and Ford is horrible at customer support in an appropriate manner.
My 17 has 2000 miles on it and it's still running the original oil. The level has moved negligibly. It's at the bottom of the top hole on the stick. I haven't beaten on the car, but I drive it in a spirited fashion frequently and have taken it close to the limiter a number of times.
I believe you are correct on both accounts. This car is new and different for the dealer and ford service.I have relayed pages and pages of information that I have learned on this forum and from other sources to both of them as I have a keen interest in what I put my hard earned money into. I will say both parties have been extremely kind and empathetic in our dealings thus far and I have no hostility to the people I have dealt with. They are keen to help in any way possible it seems
