Was just at wally world and picked up 7qts of motorcraft 5w-20 semi synthetic and a filter. The one I got was the 820S and I just want to make sure it's the right one. I have the 5.4. Wally worlds little part# display only shows the fram #'s and I won't buy that garbage. Any way I popped the hood to see what I have and its turned so I can't see the part #.

 

FL-820S is correct.

 

Yup that's correct... Went to Wally work for all my MC goodies about a week ago.

 

Touchet! Wise one!.....

 

Yeh, but he was lookin for some of those long FL-820's rscm. Wouldn't want to trade him one for a "shorty" would ya?

 

Thanks guys, yesterday I crawled under the truck to see if I could see the numbers from the bottom and I could, and since i was already under there i went ahead and changed the oil & filter while i was down there. BTW 7qts of 5w-20 motorcraft semi-synthetic and a FL-820S filter was less than 20 bucks at wally world. O'reillys and Vato Zone want about 30 for the same thing. The local oilchange joints want 50-60 for an oil change on a 4x4 truck.

 

That is not a bad price at all. I am paying right at $40 for the same amount of Mobil1 5W20 and the Motorcraft filter.

 

P.S. Not to be an SA, but, you could have looked in the owners manual for the info. In the specifications section.

 

Yes, but I don't walk thru the store with my owners manual in hand. I thought it was the 820, but I wasn't sure.

 

....but instead of getting under the truck you could look at the manual

 

Check your manual because IIRC its a 6q capacity for your truck

 

I have already changed the oil and I put in 7 qts and ended up right between the marks on the dipstick.

 

It takes 7 to get these trucks between the marks on the stick.

 

my manual says 7 and always works out perfectly with 7

 

maybe the 3v have deeper oil pans. because 5.5 to 6q is mid to full on both my trucks
