Also Ford said after 3100 miles the oil sits in a new motor correctly and that is when to do a real check..I am at 3200

Also I will call thor on the oil fill and it looks like the battery is under the passenger dash. Removed panel and factory completely sealed with screws all over

You need to read your manual and, more importantly, understand what that manual says. Ford says "Note: The oil consumption of new engines reaches its normal level after approximately 3,100 mi (5,000 km)."

Notice the word is "consumption" and not "level" or "sits". Consumption is use and for the first 3100 miles the engine may consume more oil than normal and then after the break-in period (over 3100 miles) the oil "consumption becomes normal. At a minimum, Ford says to check the oil every month and there is no mileage stipulation.
