That’s problem, most people don’t know where dips stick is till too late. My car has never used any oil between oil changes, but it’s rarely left unchanged over year with less than 5K miles. but I still check oil at least once month even though I don’t drive it that much any more. Any time I go for extended trip I check all the fluid levels and tire air pressure. No modern engine now days should be using quart of oil I 1000 miles.
If dealer told me that I would never buy that brand or take car there for service. Ford engines burn pretty clean. If car has used most oil up in 6K miles it should be evidence in tail pipe, spark plugs, and course catholic converter. When have your oil changed (NO MATTER Where you take it} should be following up on maintenance performed. When I had my oil changed at dealer they almost every time over filled it. Some times up to quart over filled cause they are too lazy to see how much oil the car actually holds and too lazy to pull the dipstick after completing oil change. Trust but verify is my motto. Another thing oil light come on when oil pressure affected that means it’s almost out of oil when pump starts pumping air.
