Mark at Roush told me to try Rotella-T 15w40. apparently (after doing some research on the net and with an engine shop) there is a special additive in it that counteracts the oil burning.
We are the dealer who installed and serviced that 402 under warranty and it was within the first year of the 2 year warranty and all procedures for reporting/documenting the issue were followed.

It should be noted the Roush warranty begins 6 months after the engine is shipped unless you send in the warranty card sooner. We have never inventoried a Roush engine for this reason.

The Roush warranty was rewritten in February 2011 so it is no longer as extensive as the past. I still feel it is among the best, it just became a little tighter and you have to be a lot more proactive in the documentation.
