I thought it was 6 qts.

 

6 for the 4.6, 7 for the 5.4

 

Yup, 7 for the 5.4. Its what the owners manual says and thats just what I did. Mmmmm that new oil smell

 

Are you sure? ive always put 6 in mine and the little stick thingy says full. and yes i start it first to fill the filter and then check

 

do you really have a 5.4? check your manual.

 

Do you really have an automatic tranny? cmon now. yes i have a 5.4 and it only takes 6qt's to fill.

 

Whoa, Whoa,.. I just had my oil changed AND a Fuel filter At the Dealer for 73 bucks out the door. You guys may want to double check that...

 

The truck physically holds 6.6qts and the filter holds 0.4qts.

 

Im have to tell the dealer how much oil (7 qt.) to put in when they change my oil. Not the smartest people working there.

 

Dam Northside Ford in San Antonio charged me $10 for just labor on my oil change last weekend! I have never been charged more than $7. I usually just stop at my local jiffyxxxx and slip the guy $5 but I realized that it is better to get the paper work and have Ford be responsible for the labor. I have had a oil filter put on WRONG and since I had slipped the guy $5 under the table I had to go out and buy 6 quarts of my Mobile 1 full synthetic oil and new filter (for my Z71) a few days later and do it myself. Now I feel better about waiting alot longer at a dealership but knowing everything that has a grease fitting is getting grease, and I have paperwork to back it up.

 

Just ordered Motorcraft fuel filter (FG986B) from rockauto.com for $10.42 plus shipping. Last order from them arrived the next day

 

.. yeah, except nothing has a grease fitting

 

That was my thought!

 

Well, if you question the 7 qts, it doesn't hurt to ask if you might have the 4.6. Did you look in the manual? What does it say for a 5.4?
