7quarts? Help
MYOWNERS MANUAL SAYS 6 QTS BUT IT ONLY COMES UP TO THE MIN ON THE DIPSTICK SO I CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME 7 QTS. WHICH IS RIGHT?

6 quarts will fill it to the correct level. As long as it is between the marks it is good. Some people fill it with 6 1/2 quarts to the top line. make sure the dip stick is pushed down all the way when you check it.
It it better to be under filled than over filled. |
A lot depends on how well you drain it as to how much you put back in. I used to **** my 88 way up in the air and let it drain for a couple hours while I was doing other things and it held all of 7 qts. The 01 when I did that held 6.5 as well. Just fill it till you are in the operating zone while the truck is on level ground. That is all that matters.

SIX QUARTS.

Ditto. 6 quarts is full regardless of what the dipstick reads.

7 qts
I have a 1997 with a 5.4 engine. If I put 6 in it, it barely reads on the dipstick. I have been adding a 7th qt the past few changes. I was under the impression that you used the dipstick to tell if It needed oil or not. If 6 isn't doing the trick, I'd add more until it reads where it is supposed to.

Six quarts! Not 6.25.......not 6.5.......not even 7! SIX!!!!!!! Whats that number between 5 and 7? 6!!!!!!!!!!! Whats 4+2=6....... 8-2=6...... 3x2=6........ SIX!!!!!!!!! :fyi:

It needs to be six.
For some reason I guess Ford can't figure out how long the dipsticks need to be, or can't make them with an accurate length. |
I had to lengthen my dipstick on my 88 5.0 and I'm going to need to lengthen the dipstick on this truck as well. I used 7 last time because that's where the full line was. This time I'll put in six and then adjust the dipstick until it reads full.
