Got me a 2012 5.0
Brand new. 2012 Lariat 4x4. 3.55 E-lock. Supercrew. All black.
Getting a spray in bed liner tomorrow and exhaust on Thursday. I love it. So much more power than my 09.

I've got 9,200 miles on my 2011 FX4 Supercab 5.0L and I haven't had any issues with oil consumption so far.

Beautiful truck, Tux black is the nicest F-150 color hands down, I'm just not brave enough to buy a black truck. How do you like the 5.0L? My truck has 5900 miles on it right now, I changed the OEM dino out at 1500 miles to Mobil 1 5-20 Fully Synthetic, at 4600 miles my oil was down almost 1/2 Qt.
Everything I've found on the web points to these motors are oil-burners. Basically there is a vac line in the valve cover recirculation that blows oil back into the intake tract/ plumbing to be sent back through the motor. Not sure if it like this on purpose or not but if you search on the web someone makes a little catch can that is suppose to stop the oil from going through the vac-line and intake.
