I added 2 more qts. Of oil and drove home. I returned to the dealer on monday for a leak check. The service technicians found no leaks but added another 3 qts. Of oil. I was told to watch the oil level and that ford could do nothing until the engine is "broken in" which is at 7,500 miles. 1 day later I returned to the dealership with a "bluish/gray" smoke coming from the tailpipe. The asst. Service manager said that was a good sign but to continue watching the oil until 7,500 miles at which time they would be able to start monitoring the engine.
