I actually doubled checked on that, asked a few technicians and they all said that ford motors use lighter oil at the beginning then run better with thicker oil as they break in. I might as well give it a shot and if i notice any performance loss or any problems of any sort then i'll have to go to 5w30.

 

I learned my lesson, will be checking it at least once a week for sure, even if i only drive it once every month

 

Pick up a PCV air/oil separator and that should reclaim the majority of your oil, preventing it from entering the intake and being burned up. WOT at the strip will definitely accelerate consumption.

 

thx, iam gonna look into that

 

Since you don't drive the car very much, it could be that your piston rings have gotten gunked up and are sticking. i have used Risolene before with good results. When it gets a quart down, put a quart in and see what happens. It won't hurt the car, and may help. It's about $6 at NAPA.

 

OP, how much oil are you putting in when you change the oil? If you're simply giong by the manual or not running the car before doing a final check, that's the problem. Manuals 99% of the time recommend less than is actually required and if you haven't started the car before doing your first oil check, it will give you a false high reading on the stick.

Reason is without starting the car first you're not taking into account the new filter which is not saturated yet.

Change your oil, get 6 quarts and dump 5 in to start. Run the car for a few minutes. Let it sit for 10. Then check your oil. Add what you need to get it to the line. Done.
