it was due for an oil change for sure, I just hadn't done it yet because last oil change was 10k miles ago and I put in full synthetic and SUPPOSEDLY that was good for 10k miles.

but the reason I didnt do it the last couple months was because I had been bringing it to the ford dealer (don davis arlingont) and they had been SUPPOSEDLY checking the oil in the 30pt inspection.

I have responsibility for sure to check my oil and change it, but when I am trusting what the dealer tells me that my oil is OK, why would I doubt it??

also, there was NEVER any warning light or indication of low oil or pressure... the dealer said there were 2 quarts left in it.

ummm, i dont care what they tell you, change the oil at least every 5k, if not 3k. also these motors go through oil pretty quick. this is not surprising that you burned through all your oil in 10k. I was two quarts low after a track day once. but the fact that you regularly had the car checked at the ford dealership should help your case. was the oil change light not coming on? those things usually go by the amount of miles you drive.
