I had a 92 crown vic (or rather barrowed) that ate oil like a FREAK! off the scale..it was abused though and an X cop car. So I did not enter it in the poll.

my 2000gt with a little over 104,000 miles has no oil leakage at all. guess us mustang owners are lucky to have such a clean engine.

I actually measure the amount of oil that comes out of the engine during my 5000 mi oil changes.(there ain't an **** smiley is there?)I just want to see how the 4.6 does with oil as they age.
BTW my 04 Gt has 34,000 miles on the clock and has used the same amount from day one.
The 93 Lincoln MK VIII I had before would use about one quart between the 7,000 mile changes with 165,000 miles.
I used Mobile 1 in both of them.
