If I were using Mobil 1, I'd be going about 7,500mi between oil changes. Changing at 3,500mi seems like a waste of synth oil to me. I have 9,000mi on the Amsoil I'm running right now.

My car needs a quart about every 1500-2000 sometimes even a little less than 1500...the dealer told me it was considered normal for Fords standards They also told me the a quart every 1000 miles was still within spec Running Mobil1 has been very expensive for me but I still run it in all my cars and change the oil about every 3500-4500 miles.

Scott find a new dealer...

Apple Ford in Columbia, MD, This was after they replaced the bottom end (spun bearings) at ~20k miles. At the time it was still under warranty. I have heard this from other Ford long time owners as well...and they like me think it is total BS on Fords part.

My Crossfire has one of those oil monitors and it came on for its first oil change @7000K and it said I could go another 900 miles, so realistically, I could've gone almost 8K Make sure you use a Mobil 1 or quality oil filter to help things out a bit, its well worth it IMO!
