John when I first complained to dealer the answer is it can't be using that much oil unless leaking. No leaks but had to set up a appointment and take in. Answer was no leaks you must not know how to check oil. Started looking on the net to see if anyone else was having a problem. Noticed the mustang owners were complaining more than the 150 owners at that time. Found a Ford TSB that told dealers to do a oil consumption test if having problems. Went back and said I wanted that done. Fist thing they said was where did you get that. Anyway it failed the test and a long block installed. It used less oil for the first 2000 than the original engine but at 5000 miles it was using the same amount. when I wanted something done around November last year the dealer had told them not to put anymore engines in and they had 3 to be installed in other trucks but ford said they wouldn't get paid from them. Contacted Ford and the standard answer was take it to dealer. After I pointed out that they wouldn't do anything because they said ford told them to stop. Finally they admitted that engineering was working on the problem. In December they came out with a new TSB to reset engine controls and a new dipstick to install with 1.9 quarts between add and full. Drove less than 300 miles since then so can't say what the results are but not hopeful.
