I totally agree with this. My 16 and 17 used a quart every 3,000 from new and were daily driven and never tracked. And we all got that letter from Ford saying it was acceptable to use a quart every 500 miles. That was to cover there butt. They know there was an internal problem and they weren't talking. But even though Ford replaces these engines instead of having specially trained mechanics to work on the GT 350 you take it down to your local Ford dealership and pray the guy changing out your engine (oh thats after the cars been there forever) knows what the hell he's doing and gets everything back together right and don't scratch up your beautiful new GT 350 in the process. And if your lucky you'll have 10 quarts of oil in it like your supposed to. Where I bought mine in service they had no idea about working on the GT 350 verses the GT. First oil change I told them be sure 10 quarts and they looked at me as if shocked.I quite agree with you and don't believe I stated anywhere that I expected no oil usage. I don't think anyone would be unhappy at one quart per 5000 mile oil change. So if that is what the new engines are getting, it would be nice to know that. That would then beg the question of what was different on the previous engines and what Ford did to correct it. Some have suggested from pre-19 threads that one quart per 1000 mile was acceptable for an engine of this caliber yet if Ford changed something and that is no longer happening then maybe Ford didn't think it was acceptable. Aren't you curious to know if that correction occurred and what that change was?
