My old 5.4 and 4.6 modular Ford motors would burn 1qt/1000 miles. But that was after about 120,000 miles. I'd be pissed if anything with that kind of mileage had that level of oil burn rate. It's probably due to your open exhaust.

Camaro, Mustang, doesn't matter to me, I'll race it.
Do they apply a tamper proof seal to the dipstick?
If not, go along with it and suck an extra quart or two out through the dipstick down the street from the dealer right before the first check up.

If they do apply a seal to the dipstick, well you're the series director; just replace it with the same seal you use on our CMC cars.
Bam new engine.
I don't think dealerships bother with rebuilding engines in-store any more.

If they do put a seal on it, take the sucker to the track and put 1000 miles on it. I'm sure you'd burn a quart there.

Get rid of the PCV system and just vent to atmosphere. My coyote drank oil even though a .020" orifice in the PCV system. went to a regular breather like the 1960's and ZERO oil usage.
Ah, fugg it.
lol you guys are funny
No way of knowing at this point if they would fix anything or just call it "within tolerance". If it's the pcv I should see oil in the intake by removing the throttle body or using a scope right?

yep. just pull throttle body and shine a flashlight in there.

Make them provide the tolerances in writing ahead of time with the various levels of resolution INCLUDING a worsening condition that has clearly been identified. If they won't put it in writing, call Ford investor relations and make some noise. Odd are you'll end up in the C-suite resolution channel which helps move the dealership along.

MANY of the new consumption tolerances are 1/2 and full quarts every 1000 miles or so. the 5/20 and 0/20 oils burn off like mad. even the 0/40 in our SRT engines drains like friggin' water when cold. Also, my intake on the race engine was dry as a bone with only a mild residue. Never did figure it out completely but I sort of copied the Rehegan racing setup and the problem went completely away....yet I still found raw oil in the breather catch can when I pulled the motor. Nearly 1/3 quart. weird.
Ah, fugg it.
