No oil consumption with mine either. Changed to Mobil 1 full synthetic 5w-20 at 1,000 miles and just changed it at 10,000 miles. Never checked it in between.

I checked my oil when I first got the truck (26 miles). The oil was so clean I really couldn't see where it was on the dip stick. I checked it again at 1500 miles and could see that it was about a quart low. I changed the oil and filter and now have 1700 miles on it and it is now 1/2 quart low.

We'll it comes with break in oil that should stay in there for the first five thousand miles. From what I've read/heard

It does not come with break in oil! Not sure where you are reading.

.........I read an old post from 2012 I think where sink17 was talking about his 5.0 using excess oil (every 1500 miles I think) and a tick in the engine ...was wondering how this turned out ?? my 2011 is doing the same( 1 Qt-1500 miles and tick) ...24K miles on it ...changed oil and babied it over the 5 years and now concerned .....hope sink17 and others can comment .....no documentation on my oil changes ...warranty up in Jan.2017

...probably screwed....thank you in advance for any replies.....

2013 F 150 with 62K miles - needed a new fuel canister - engine shut down right in the middle of the highway during rush hour - and the fuse board needed a new "replacement Kit" as it was a poor design as I was told by the dealer - should be a recall - anyone have this happen on their 2013? Dealer is telling me it is quite common - I dont buy it -

I work at a dealership and to be honest I dont think Ive seen either one of those replaced, not at that kind of mileage anyway.
Only major repair we've done on any of our 5.0L's is a couple of water pumps that crapped out early. (no engine damage done)

i just drove my 5.0 on a 700 mile trip and checked it before and after and appears to be at same place. I do have the right side tick and a faint knock that I have posted about that comes and goes. 49k on it now.

I just got done changing the oil in my truck. After 6500 miles using motorcraft 5w-30 it was about a half quart low. I drained the catch can, ended up with about a quart of fluid from that. Smelled heavily like fuel, and had a good amount of oil. Its a common thing to see.
