Miami V8 engine: oil consumption
For Ford’s 5.0-litre supercharged Miami V8 engine, owners are recommended to check the oil level every 1,000 kilometres when running in and every 2,000 kilometres thereafter since the engine does consume some oil when new. In the USA, Ford considers oil consumption for the supercharged V8 engine of one quart per 1000 miles (around 600 ml per 1000 kilometres) to be acceptable.
