My 4.4i usually takes 9 quarts, then a few hundred miles later I have to add about 1/4 of a quart - by the next oil change (6-7000 miles), I would have added an extra 1-2 quarts. I use Mobil 1 Synthetic 5W30. One time, I kept adding oil because the Check Oil light would come up constantly and it was hard to read the dipstick until I got scared and went back to my mechanic and had him drained it - the car had about 10 quarts. So, be careful.
I was thinking of using a heavier oil - 10W30 - Any thoughts?
