How's your oil consumption in a stock GT?

None at all.

2019 Stock GT. Doesn't use any oil, coming up to 30,000 miles. I have come to believe the guys who drove the car home from the dealer and immediately dumped the factory oil out and put in the slipperiest synthetic oil are the ones who have oil consumption issues. The rings need to seat before that switch is made.

Nope, mine burns a 1/4 quart every 2k or so. I didn't change the factory oil until almost 3,000 miles. I think it's just tolerances more than break in.

No noticeable consumption with mine!!

Im sure mine uses some, but with 10 quarts i haven’t noticed it be an issue.
Plus most people on here are probably going to be doing 5-7.5k oil change intervals anyways.

Mine uses about a half liter or so between roughly 5k mile change intervals and always has. I don't consider that anything to worry about. It wasn't babied or beaten during break in. Car also gets a lot of short trips since I retired which doesn't help that too. I did my first oil change at about 4500 miles on the clock.

My M1 schedule is 5,000 or 5 months which ever comes first. It’s not a daily driver and not used on the track or drag strip. It’s just used to bring joy as necessary to an old car guy refusing to let the old man in!

2020 Bullitt, uses about a quart every oil change at 5000 km.

Nope, mine burns a 1/4 quart every 2k or so. I didn't change the factory oil until almost 3,000 miles. I think it's just tolerances more than break in.

So that's a quart every 8,000 miles. I would never consider going that far between oil changes so in my mind you don't have an oil consumption issue at all. I'd only call it an issue if I had to add oil between changes.

I bought a 2015 with 20k miles on it, it burned a little oil in the beginning and around 30k miles it just completely stopped burning oil (until I sold it with 90k miles on it). I assume the rings seated more. My 2020 (40K) burns some oil, but I don't know how anyone can tell they need just 1 quart in an oil pan that holds 10qts. Even if I made my own mark on the stick, I don't know if I could tell 1qt from 2qts lol

My 22 GT didn't burn any at all in 23k miles that I had it. My 21 M1 so far so good. Bought with 4300, changed at 5k. Has almost 7k now and no loss yet... BUT, my 18 Gen 3 Coyote F150 (1st year for the Gen 3) burned a quart every 3k miles like clockwork. Traded at 100K miles, still running perfect, but did use some oil...

30K miles on the Mach 1, I change it every 5-6K miles it doesn't burn any (well a tiny bit as expected). No oil gets added, it probably burns half a quart during that period. My 1st gen would burn a quart and I changed that every 10K miles. So its about the same between 1st gen and 3rd gen.

What makes some people think it burns more than it does is the dipstick. When I change my oil and add the 10 qts. The oil level is between min and max holes. Most would think it should be all the way up to the top hole.

Nothing noticeable. Pennzoil Euro Platinum 5w40.
BTW, all engines burn a defined amount of oil.

I’ll burn a little during the summer but not during the winter. Worst for me has been a quart low after 5k miles but that was when I first got it and I was always shifting at high RPMs along with big loud downshifts. Now that I’ve calmed down a bit, no oil burned. I’ve got a 2018 GT premium purchased with 11k and now have 31k miles.

 

[Qcman17]

One thing with mine is I run in Sport mode all the time and it downshifts a lot which is basically engine braking that I feel will make it use more than if it doesn’t do that.

my 2017 GT has now got 205,000km,s doesnt use any oil
since it was new i have had different drivers in the car friends fly over for a holiday and i loan them a car.
depends on who it is to which car they borrow normally gets the nod
they are all car people
