5.0 Using Oil
My 2011 GT is using a quart of oil per 1500 miles. It has 4600 miles on it. Is anyone else experiencing this problem.? No oil spots or leakage that I can find. I assume the best course of action is to take it back. I'm afraid they will tell me that it is normal. Thanks for any response.

From what I understand from my research, this is normal, expecially from the passenger side PCV. The oil is going into the intake. 100% normal...though I'm not a fan of oil in my intake manifold, it should be oil VAPOR, not oil. Catch can will eliminate the oil in the manifold, though there isn't much to do about the oil lose at the time. This, again, is from my research on the 5.0L Coyote. You could always take it in and see what the techs will say.

You are exactly right, you are not an expert.
This is normal to a point. Its normal for the first couple thousand, but should taper off. Just keep checking it now that you know the car is doing this and maybe get a JLT catch can for the passenger side PCV.
