[QUOTE="max, post: 277442, member: 179"] Two points: 1. the dohc engine's heads retain quite a bit of oil, and the dip stick level shouldn't be checked until given ample time to drain down.....I'd say at least 10-15 minutes. 2. The '96 Cobras had the idiot "low oil" light that was too sensitive.. it would come on if the car was on an incline to the rear and started. Also, if you gave the car a quick start, shut down, and then another start the light would glow. Ford did away with the light because in reality, it wasn't reading true and thus a nuisance. Personally, I don't think most of the cars in this thread are using oil and if they are, I'd be willing to say it is less than a quart per 3000 miles, which isn't too bad. I've lost the article concerning the amount of oil to be used....the going rate is 6.5 qts with filter change. The manual will say 6 qts and add 'til the dip stick shows full. HTH, Max [/QUOTE]
