I'm trying to figure out if I'm having a problem with my new engine. I have about 30,000 miles on my new engine. From day 1 I noticed it seem like It was using oil little by little I took it to the dealer they checked it out they did oil consumption test for about 6 weeks and they said it was fine a rep from ford said its normal for you to have to add about a quart of oil every 1000 miles. On my old engine that I had 276,000 miles on I never had to add oil in between oil changes and I went way too long between oil changes most of the time I just had to add a quart of oil this morning and I'm about 3 or 4000 miles overdo for an oil change should I worry about this? It has a 3 year unlimited mileage warranty the warranty started in august of 2011 and in 3 years I'll put over 100,000 miles on it. Also there's no leaks and it's not smoking like it's using oil. Need some advice. sorry for the long post
