Wow. This is a pretty big indication the 5.0 has some serious issues. Been keeping an eye on my oil and it’s been pretty steady through 13k miles.

I realize there have been many posts concerning owners of 2018 F150s w/5.0L experiencing oil consumption. However, based on the total qty of those engines built the percentage of failures is still very small. Keep in mind the first rule of trouble shooting: "Is there a problem?" Many of those engines produced will never experience this issue.

As a sample of 1, I have been monitoring mine since new, I'm getting ready to do the first change early at ~3500 miles. So far as I can tell, it hasn't used much, if any. Still registers at the lower line or a hair over, pretty much where it was the first time I checked it.

All things considered, 3000 miles per quart isn't that bad of a consumption number, especially after "break-in". Maybe they really have confidence in these engines. At least we now know what the high-usage standard is. Ford is being very generous. Kudos to them again.

Mine used 4.5 qts during my last oil change interval (5,000 miles) and is currently going thru the oil consumption test with my dealership. Interesting that they DO NOT want me checking the oil on my own and that doing so may void the test.....I've followed their rules and over the past 1000 miles they say it hasn't used a drop......Hmmmm.
