It took me a while to figure out the 5.0 and 5.2 difference was due to no cyl. liners. Since the GT500 is a 5.2 it likely uses the plasma coated process.
The break-in for my new Hellcat was very detailed as to RPM and MPH limits. I followed it to a T. I did the same with my 2017 GT350 and that sucker would go through some oil but at about 2000 miles it dropped off significantly. From a quart about every 750 miles to half a quart at 1000 miles.
Not sure how that’s the case. I’ve seen all sorts of issues that caused oil consumption and some that didn’t consume oil at all that still somehow killed themselves. I just got a brand new 19R motor and drove it hard right away once it was warm and on a long road trip starting day 2 and the 17 motor that was originally in the car was babied and went through the recommended break in process. The 19R motor hasn’t burned a single drop of oil in 2500 miles while the 17 motor would have burned 5-7 quarts by now. The gen 2 voodoo motor has had far less complaints of oil consumption vs gen 1 (I see more 17s have the problem imho). Ford is keeping it quiet for a reason. If it was a break-in issue, I’m sure ford would be stressing to convey how important that is instead of replacing so many motors.
I broke in my 2016 GT350 hard. I sold it with 18k miles without a hiccup.
