I'd wait and see. My car was using a worrying amount of oil but now that I'm at 8500 miles it's chilled out a bunch. Now I'm at a quart in 2000 miles at worst if I'm beating on it often.
I'd say a quart every 2,000 miles is a lot.
Thank you.

You have to be burning a quart in 1000 now for them to even consider the possibility something is wrong, lol. Probably because they replaced too many engines.
Post #10 in this thread (and Post #8) says there is no oil burning TSB that applies to the Mustang - unless something has changed since post #10 happened. There is one however for the F-150 Coyote, and it says more than 1 qt in 3000 miles is excessive consumption.Not according to Ford
In my case I'm not worried because the oil consumption is improving, not getting worse. When it's the other way around you've got problems. Not only that, but if I drive normally and don't hit redline like I normally do once a day, it doesn't use any oil at all. We'll see what it's like after 10,000 miles. My experience isn't unique at all either from what I've seen on here. No tick though, so victory there.
Right, so a case like mine which is more than I'd like isn't going to get fixed, unfortunately. Unless it gets worse or blows up. I'm hopeful though that it will come around.
There is one, but I didn't save it. It was for the Coyote Gen3 in general, and basically said it was normal to have oil consumption until 10K miles. It didn't specify how much in there, if I remember correctly. But yes, most manufacturers say up to 1-qt every 1K miles is normal (Ford included), which is absolute BS, as we all know.
Maybe @Cobra Jet can chime in and verify since he seems to be on top of all SSM/TSBs, etc. I typically save them all when they are posted on this site and only have the one for the F-150, which is: Ford TSB 19-2058 - 5.0L - Excessive Oil Consumption.
