careful of oil changes 5.8 owners

Had oil changed at Ford dealer yesterday, they only put in 6 qts instead of the normal 7 required by the engine. had to go back for last quart after checking it at home. should of checked at dealer b-4 leaving. Mngr said mechanic should of known it was 7 qts, but that most v-8's are 6 with filter change,, 5.8 is different.. make sure they give you 7 qts. jop

I think you mean 5.4l owners. And wow, was it a ford dealer? If so that's pretty bad they definitely should know better.

Thats just another reason why I buy my oil at Walmart! I buy the 5-quart jugs & the single quart bottles! Put them on the front passenger seat for the tech to use! I don't use dealer bulk oil for my rides! Mobil-1 or Pennzoil Ultra! 7-quarts for the 5.4 truck, 6-quarts for the 4.6 Crown Vic!
