No, I have my car. Just have to keep an eye on my oil, and if it needs it, I go by my dealer, and they top it off. And once they have the motor in their hands, I will bring the car in for the swap. I had about 10,500 -11,000 when I realized I had a problem, but I bought it used with 9,000 miles, so whoever owned it before must've known they had a problem.. my car devours oil.. I'm talking 5+ quarts in 1200-1500 miles.Damn, you still driving it or is it in the shop? What mileage did it let go or when did they determine it needed a new motor?
I keep reading, not all here, that driving the car hard is all ya gotta do to keep it from burning oil. Obviously a lot of these things are babied and spend their life at car shows, but i can tell you mine is the opposite of that. I’m obviously no pro, and the car is not tracked, but if you drove it any harder on the street you’d be locked up. I live in a rural area with plenty of curvy roads, i admit to getting pulled over with regularity.
My consumption started after 6k miles with zero changes in driving habits. There were no other variables. It just started drinking more and more, after being so consistent for the first 6k miles. I can’t explain it, just an observation.
Also, i was told my new voodoo will be here in 3 weeks. I’m more than ready to be done with this.
Same here. Just want to be done with this. Very happy with the dealer up to this point, just disappointed in the fact that this is happening to myself and so many others. It's something ford had to have known about, did the #'s, and has to be way cheaper to replace the engines that are found out about, then all the other options... cause once they STOP replacing them, there will be class actions, major recalls, then major $$ down the toilet.. but ford continues to step up and fix the known engines, and as long as they do, it will be the best resolution for all of us, and them..I keep reading, not all here, that driving the car hard is all ya gotta do to keep it from burning oil.

No, but I didn’t ask. When i got my car back from them reading the dye test there was a CEL. So i hooked up my nGauge and pulled 4 codes. Took me twice to find it as i was in poor lighting when i looked the first time, but they simply didn’t hook up the 2 clip on pieces to the back of the manifold. Not a big deal in the scheme of things, but these are the same people that left 16 pieces of hardware out of my engine splash guard/front splitter, and gave me the car back knowing the first time it ripped off was at 145mph...and they will be putting in my new 20k engine lol...Did they tell you how long it would take to do the swap?.....

In the 600 or so miles since my last oil change, I added about 6/10ths of a QT. I autocrossed today, which means the motor was spinning up past 6k for a good amount of time for about 50 seconds each time in a total of 8 runs.
I'll check the level and the level in the CC tomorrow and report back...Current mileage on the car is 10,400.
