Oil temperature and angle of the vehicle can often cause changes in the dipstick indication. I'd check it a good bit more often then twice per oil change if I suspected a problem.

It is a 2010.. The recommended is 5-20 however I don't buy into that because that's mainly for CAFE fuel consumption standards.. 5-30 or 10-30 is mucho better to use and only takes a hair longer to warm up.. IF I lived in the northeast or something that would be different.
Isn't it only down 1/2 a quart between the hash marks? I'm sure Ford considers that to fall within normal usage.

Anywhere between the hash marks is acceptable. But most folks like to start out with it right at the top line, including myself. For me, it has to do with an easier way to confirm no oil loss since I'll check it sometimes as often as once a week out of habit. Been doing that for about 40 years now.

57 years young, you wise azz whippersnapper! LOL! Really, you're as young as you feel and the wife and I have our methods for staying young and each having his/her own Stang is only one of them.

I'm sure it involves playing an exciting game of cribbage and pinochle.. Maybe even getting a little crazy with a game of shuffleboard.. I know how you AARP members like to party :P haha
