Default 75,000 mile maintenance

2011 f150 5.0 4x4. 65,000 miles on the truck, only 10,000 miles on the short block. Just noticed that I'm about 3/4 of a quart low today. I change my oil at 5k. I'll hit 5k today, but should a brand new block be consuming oil? This brings me to my next question. Does this engine have a pcv valve? I'd like to change it if so just got preventive maintenance.

Not unusual, and FoMoCo will say normal | acceptable (new | used).

Does this engine have a pcv valve?
Yes (has a PCV valve). RH (passenger) side. Motorcraft part # EV-269
