I ran across this on the Internet - Range AFM disable device. Made me wish I hadn't traded my cherry '07 for fear of eventually developing the feared AFM related oil consumption related problems and tried this instead.

All I know about this is what is contained on their webpage and I have no first hand knowledge of the device, how it works, or whether it operates as claimed. You can check it out for yourself and see if this meets your needs. But it does seem a practical alternative for those who want to disable AFM only instead of reprogramming the ECM module with a tuner to turn off AFM which is detectable by the dealer and will likely void any warranty.
Essentially the device plugs into the diagnostic connector to turn off AFM and claims to be reversible and undetectable once removed when servicing the vehicle. I may resort to this if time reveals that the AFM problem has not been solved in the '12 & '13 models.
