Which Oil?
After reading all the threads about oil consumption. I see that all of you use 5W-20. My truck has always had Motorcraft 5W-30 used in it. Have 65k on it and it has always used near a half qt every 2k. Is this not the right oil to use? Thanks

As far as using a half quart - do you fill it to the top mark or just add 6 qts and let it ride?

BTW - How did your engine throw a rod? Folks here may want to know about it. Maybe start a new thread?
