Question about engine oil?

RE: Question about engine oil?
Sorry don't know what happened there, anyway....
I just bought my car with like 40,000 miles on it and changed the oil as soon as I got it home. I used the 5W20 Mobil 1 fully synthetic. I now have about 42,500 miles on it and have added a full quart to keep it up to full. Is this bad for my car to be using this amount of oil. I have checked and am sure there are no leaks. Should I be running a little thicker oil like the 5W30 because of my miles or what?

nah I'm pretty sure you are just fine. I have 100,000 on my 2001 and I never burn oil, I use the recommended amount of oil (i forgot what it is) and its all good. I use synthetic blend.

What year is your car, how much did you put in when you changed it? Ford changed the oil pan in mid-'01 and the engine oil capacity went from 5.0 to 6.0 quarts...
