That is a lot. My 5.4 with another 70,000 miles on it uses about 1 quart of 5W20 in 3,000 miles. You do not say what your oil change interval is so I don't know what your oil consumption rate is. You may want to switch to 5W30 oil.

Sounds like a lot to me. I have a 2010 F 150 with the 4.6 I burn maybe a quart between oil changes, every 5 K miles. The 2010 has 57,000 miles on it now.
