quart every 3,000 miles

1 qt per 3000 miles does not seem right regardless of being twin turbo.

Sounds normal. I would not worry about losing a quart.

When I'm driving like a grampa the truck seems to hold it's oil pretty steady. I put 2000 miles of hard offroad abuse and some towing on here and I dropped a quart during that period. Not a big deal, probably a little blow by or turbos burning it up when you are pushing the truck. My old 5.0 and my GT350 burn a quart of oil every thousand miles. I think its just a Ford thing.

If it's consistently using oil it might be worth telling the dealer about it, looks like there is a TSB. I have an '18 built before the TSB date with around 4500 miles, mine hasn't used any oil yet though.

A quart in 3000 miles sounds normal....really?

A modern engine should not be burning oil so soon. That is just crazy, I would be pissed. I would take it in.

I can't believe the people saying this is normal. My 17 F-250 pulling a fully loaded trailer with 6 horses doesn't burn a quart in 5k.

BINGO. Motor oil is lubrication. It's a ****** fuel. Modern engines are designed to exacting standards using advanced 3D computer driven design software so that the manufacture has the best chance of meeting the EPA's fleet MPG requirements. Burning oil is pollution, and no modern engine is designed or intended to do that because it'll blow the EPA test for the fleet. If your new engine is burning oil, pure and simple it is doing something that it was specificially designed NOT to do.

The last vehicle I had to add any oil to was a 93 Lightning and by that time, it had about 180k on it and also leaked a little. Using a quart in 3k seems really high.

Those saying it's normal must have a Raptor burning oil and don't want to admit it has a problem.
