My first domestic, first Ford.
I picked up my GT350 late last year , did a break-in oil change at the dealer at a little over 1000 miles and I'm currently at around 3500 miles. I have the Ford Performance oil separators installed and while I have found a little oil in those, I've had to top off my oil fairly often and have gone through almost 3 quarts (of purely topping off so the oil is near the top of the dipstick full mark) since I got the car.
I do mostly city driving and don't go above 4000rpms often on the street (couple times a week if that??). I've only done 2x 20-minute track sessions and 1x 30-minute so I'm definitely not losing oil from driving the car hard.
The car seems to run perfectly fine other than some valvetrain (or possibly drivetrain) noise around 3000 rpms at 10% throttle. It goes away when the revs go up or if I increase throttle. I know there's been talk about that on various forums as well. Mine has been doing this since I purchased the car new with about 50-60 miles on the ODO (which I consider quite a bit for a new car). I wonder if this is more common than owners think? If you drive with the windows up, music/aircon off, and exhaust valves closed, you can hear it pretty well.
Just wondering if anyone else is experiencing similar oil consumption and noise?
