My 2000 5.4 used a qt every 2500 miles until 80k and then would go 5k miles and still be almost full. I used 5w30 Havoline the first 10k miles (3 oil changes) and switched to Mobil 1 5w30 and changed every 5k miles. Sold it at 105k miles in Aug 05. Missed it so bad, I bought a 2002 this year with 69k miles.

Did she stop burning a quart every 2500 miles when you switched to the Mobile 1?

No, I switched at 10,000 miles. It stopped burning oil at 80,000 miles. Sometimes Fords take a long time to completely seat the rings.
