On engine start, at 1,935 miles the oil pressure gauge drop to zero and the "engine oil" light illuminated. I turned the engine off to check the oil level on the dip stick. The dip stick indicated below "min". I poured 3 qts. Of oil in the engine and drove to the nearest dealer to have service. The dealer was not fully staffed since it was a Saturday. I added 2 more qts. Of oil and drove home. I returned to the dealer on Monday for a leak check. The service technicians found no leaks but added another 3 qts. Of oil. I was told to watch the oil level and that Ford could do nothing until the engine is "broken in" which is at 7,500 miles. 1 day later I returned to the dealership with a "bluish/gray" smoke coming from the tailpipe. The asst. Service manager said that was a good sign but to continue watching the oil until 7,500 miles at which time they would be able to start monitoring the engine.
