1. How many miles on your current engine? ~7,300miles (~11,700kms)
2. Have you ever had your engine replaced, and if so why? No
3. Do you frequently track your car? No
4. What is the date of manufacture of your car? 6/2017
5. Have you had any engine mods/upgrades done, OPG's, valves, cams etc? No
6. How much oil do you pull out of your catch cans? Didn't track the amount, I remember it being around maybe 1oz or so in the syringe I used to remove it, very little, passenger side only.

My car seems to burn no oil so far, or if it is, it is a very small amount. I avoid any high rpm low load situations, and typically tend to drive a little harder than most, the majority of the time. If I'm pulling out or turning onto another road, I always accelerate a little quicker (nothing close to WOT) than is necessary to get "good fuel economy". Average about 1617/100km which is around 13.5-14.7MPG. And this is with virtually ZERO stop and go traffic where fuel economy is worse. Just to provide a sense that I typically always try to have some measure of load on the engine, with no loafing or lugging the engine.

1300 miles on an '18 GT350. Averaging 10.4 mpg, so that gives you an idea where I live in the power band. So far the oil on the dipstick hasn't moved from 3/4 up between the marks. Will report back at 2k. :)

I have a 17 R, 2400 miles and 6 track days, one oil change so far. Is consuming zero oil which I'm very pleased about. It has however consumed one set of tires, pads, brake fluid, about 5mpg on track, and refinished rotors after said track days ;)

At 2029 miles I changed the oil as recommended. My car is Supercharged, running 5W50 Motorcraft I had no oil consumption. I haven't tracked it yet. My build date is 11/2017. I have sent my oil out for analysis. I changed brand/type and will see if the 5W50 is why it didn't use any. Some say using 5W50 or 5W40 will halt oil use. Engine is stock other than the Stage 1 Whipple.

This makes no sense. What’s do you mean you chancged “type” of oil? If you changed to a 5W50, what were you using before? Because 5W50 is what you’re supposed to be using. Think you’ve misread something because no one is saying changing to 5W50 will halt oil use; everyone is on that anyways, both folks using oil and not using oil. Not even gonna address 5W40 comment.

Yes, I am a lowly GT owner. Sorry, didn't realize I was reading a Shelby thread until after I pressed {Post Reply} My car came with 5W50 because it's Supercharged. I have since seen where it's not necessary unless getting track use, so I changed. That is all. I'll see my way out. :wink:

It's all good, brother! Some folks are worried about Voodoo longevity. You are in a very exclusive club with the supercharged coyote. Good luck!

Just wondering how many of you don't consume oil? I see a lot of talk on here and it seems everyone consumes oil except for me and like 5 other people. I have a little over 4K miles on my car and I have yet to consume oil. I also pull 1-1.5oz out of my passenger side catch can. For the sake of data and science, I'd love to hear from some others.

1. How many miles on your current engine? ~4000
2. Have you ever had your engine replaced, and if so why? No
3. Do you frequently track your car? No
4. What is the date of manufacture of your car? 6/2017
5. Have you had any engine mods/upgrades done, OPG's, valves, cams etc? No
6. How much oil do you pull out of your catch cans? 1-1.5oz per 1000 miles

I'm thinking maybe there's a correlation between when an engine was made and whether or not it consumes oil. Or maybe it's random. That's what I aim to figure out.

No
I pull about 1 oz per 3000 miles from the Ford catch can

I never top off oil between changes, but never go above 3000 miles with an oil fill..

Consumes @ .75qt/3500 miles. I've had other high-revving V8s (I have another one currently - 08 RS4) and it also does about the same.

My car doesn't burn oil. In fact, it produces it. It automatically fills itself up when low. Such a beautiful organic experience. :sun::please:
You really should start a thread about that.
