By year 10, we'll all have a clipboard with a laundry list of things to check before ignition, just like an airline pilot!
Nice level driveway when its cold, the usual take out it wipe it off, put in back in making sure all the way, take out again and have some good light if the oil is new. Or if warm wait 15 minutes for drain back then check, don't add any if still in OK zone. Due your precise oil check add oil on cold engine.Fellas -
What is the proper way to check the oil in this car? Noticed a guy above mentioned waiting 15 minutes.

maybe not normal, but acceptable. Meaning they won't want to replace your engine if its better than that....
Called Ford Dealer Service Shop and supposedly its normal to burn 1qt of oil every 500 miles?? Has anyone heard of this ? Is this true?
Either way, just wanted to let you all know... CHECK YOUR OIL FREQUENTLY!!!!
"Happening everywhere"? WTF dude? Do you own one?i was at dealer the other day. rep there told me two guys had their gt350 bought back because even the replacement motors were blowing oil through the piston rings. so sadly unless they fix the issue with these 5.2 motors they will probably buy your car back. its pretty sad this os happeneing everywhere especially with all the dealer markup. hope they get it fixed. best of luck
I checked GT350 owner's manual and it says to check the engine oil monthly. If the average car goes 1200 miles per month, then worst case they shouldn't drop more than 2 quarts. 2 quarts of 10.I am amazed people go over 3000 miles without checking oil level. I check mine every 300 miles. Old habit when I owned rotary engine.

Maybe Ford should copy BMW and get rid of the oil dipstick in lieu of a computer sensor. "Driver, this is your friendly car computer, and we have determined that your engine is down one quart of oil. Please stop by your nearest gas station and purchase a quart of oil. Failure to do so will result in additional nagging and an email sent to your dealership service manager."
