Oil usage in Ford 6.8 V10

Thanks for the feedback. Had varying oil use in other vehicles to.

I don't have a Ford V10, however my 6.0 GMC with 79K on it will only consume oil when pulling a lot. I have lost about 1 qt between changes before if I tow a lot during that cycle. If not then its full, my 02 6.0 did the same.

My 2000 6.8 is similar with 177,000 miles.

I would consider that oil consumption normal, especially if many of the 3K miles, are towing miles.

I've never had a 6.8, but owned many Fords over the years, that used about the same oil amount as yours. Mine had less miles on the clock than yours when I traded, but never had any major engine issues, and oil consumption never got worse.
