2000 5.4 2v Best way to figure out your full mark is to change the oil and filter. Dump 6 quarts in, start her up, circulate it real good, shut it down, wait 5 or 10 then see exactly where your oil reads on the stick. Allot of guys scribe there own hash mark after figuring out where full really is. :thumbsup: |
My 02 5.4 is full when it shows a half qt low. I put 6 1/2 qts in it after changing a couple of times so it would indicate full and it must splash on the cylinders from the crankshaft whipping it because a half qt would disappear quickly. So, I just add 6 qts now and I don't have to add any between 5,000 mile changes.

Just 6 quarts, that's it! For the 2V anyway. :thumbsup: |
