well, I'll just say that the oil starvation is an extremely rare occurrence that I think a lot of people are making a mountain out of a molehill about. I run 6 quarts in mine as cheap insurance, but if you think of the number of Duratecs out there, along with the number of engine problems, it's not statistically a problem. In fact, according to Consumer Report's surveys, the Duratec V6 is not a troublesome engine, hitting right about average.
That said, I'll have 107,000 miles (171,200 km)by the end of today with no issues.
You can pillage an enemy once, but a customer is an endless resource.
