5.0 Oil Burning Issues
I changed the oil in my 2012 5.0 the other day and when I measured the amount I drained out it was barely 5qts and I am nervous that the motor maybe damaged.
I have only used Mobil1 Full Synthetic since I purchased the truck new changing the oil every 7,500 miles (now at 60,XXX).
Any help or guidance would be appreciated.

Yes I have done all of the oil changes myself and that's why I was worried. I let the oil filter drain as well in order to account for that.
I did the oil change with the motor being warm and it was on a bit of an incline if that's worth anything.

I have read some have had problems with their 5.0's using oil. I would be keeping a close eye on your oil level. That much oil loss with 7500 mile change doesn't seem right.

My 2011 has used a couple of quarts between changed since brand new.
61k miles later, it still uses the same .
I was told by Ford that this was within normal parameters.
If you're worried about it, take it in and have them do a consumption study.
