In that time it did burn oil just as the Owners supplement stated. I engine brake alot, and get on it a good bit, but I dont beat on it.
I noticed it used about 1/4 - quart of oil about every 250 miles; thats a rough estimate. The harder you drive it, the more it uses oil.
At 3350 miles I have used 2 quarts of oil to top it off between the dip-stick holes. Ford Performance said only add enough oil to keep it between the holes.
Other owners say their cars do the same, with some saying they don't use any. I don't know if the car has truly broken in as I dont drive it regularly. A daily used 350 may use less oil.
Its def a unique engine. It sounds like it has a knock in it even when its warm, but I think its actually the exhaust.
I did consider the issues E90 M3 owners had with their FPC engines when I bought it; I just pray I dont run into those issues.
Feel free to ask questions!
