Quart sounds like a lot to me.

what the normal oil change amount 7qts? 8?

Checked after letting it sit at least 15 mins? Also a quart in 3,000 with some boosted fun is nothing to be alarmed at, especially on a brand new engine. Coyotes are known to use some oil, adding boost makes it worse.

My whipple car uses about half a quart between oil changes. Oil change is every 2k now that it's on e85.

Did not know that. I only had my S550 for about 3 months.

Cuious why the Coyote is known to use oil? I thought rotory engines like Mazda uses were the only ones known for that. I'd figure a recent highly engineered V8 wouldn't burn oil. Also curious how the guy above that does an oil change every 2000 miles is okay with burning a quart in that short of time? Am I missing something?

He's running alcohol based fuel. I think he does 2k intervals now that he on e85

People drive then like grandma's for the first few hundred miles and don't break them in properly to get the rings and cylinder walls mated up nice. Guarantee if more people would get close to redline a few times in the first week or two of ownership you'd see less people with oil consumption issues in the coyote. Not sure why it's worse on the coyote than other motors though.

My truck I traded in on my car (14 f150 5.0) didn't consume a drop in the 4000 mile oil change intervals. I'm a firm believer that me revving it out quite often from miles 7-300 is the reason. My companies f150 work trucks with the 5.0s get driven easy for the first 1500 miles before they're given to us and they all use a little oil.

I agree with you. I drove mine like I stole it off the lot from day one. 11k on it now, 4k since FI and it doesn't use a drop.

I ran my car in the 1/4 mile 5 times, did 6 dyno pulls, and about 1-2 minutes at WOT within the first 100 miles lol
