Anyone see the Ford oil consumption warnings this week?

My check engine light came on this Monday. I took it to my dealer and they are changing out the valve covers.

I had know idea about this issue and asked the dealer if this was a common problem. He didn’t really give me an answer.

My oil level has always been fine as far as I know.

Checked mine today for the first time since changing it 1400 miles ago with royal purple at 5600 miles. Still exactly on full. I am starting to believe the “uses oil until 5k” because before the oil change it was using about a quart every thousand miles or so and I was really worried there was an issue. Maybe from the factory Ford puts in some cheap ass break in oil or something? I am going to keep monitoring until 10 k and if it’s using I’ll take it to Ford for service and let them know and have it checked out.

I checked mine again today. 1 quart low again! 2019 Truck 2900 miles Build date 2/19. At 1800 miles it was a quart low I added a quart. 2800 miles a quart low again. Do add another quart and play this game to 5000 miles? Or do I take it end and have them replace the valve covers?

My 2019 was low after approximately 3000 miles from last oil change performed by me.

So how does the TSB work for this? Do you just contact your dealer and tell them its consuming oil?
