My 06 F150 5.4 with 44k uses up to a quart of oil every 1500-2000 miles or so. I first noticed it last summer and it seemed to use less during cold weather but has picked up again lately. I use it for mainly driving to work and change it myself about every 4k with the recommended 5W-20. I add when it is a qt down and change it when it is a qt down a second time.
