Oil capacity dipstick gate

[LMG]

How many QTs of oil are you guys using to fill your 3.0 raptor bronco motor?
I searched and tons of threads relating to the 2.7 engine oil cap and dipstick gate.
Haven’t run across any discussing the Raptor motor.
Did my first oil change last night and a little confused as to what I put in and where it’s reading on the dipstick.
I also own a 21 f450 so I’m well aware of dipstick gate there as well.

Whatever your owners manual says. Which should be 7 quarts

Thanks. My manual says 7 if I recall. I added 7.5 and after sitting overnight and cold checking I’m halfway up the hash marks.

The owner's manual online says 6qts, but the one in the car says 7qts... Have we gotten this figured out yet?

Well this was posted in the Raptor section, so which one are you asking about? Raptor or 2.7?

Ah didn't notice that. I'm talking about the 2.7. I thought all 3 engines had the same issue though, didn't they?

There was confusion for the 2.7 for a little while when it first came out, but the owners manual was corrected shortly after.

21-24 2.3 is 6 quarts
2025 2.3 is 5.6 quarts
2.7 is 6 quarts
3.0 is 7 quarts

I have been running 7 quarts in my 2021 2.7 since day one... no problems and it has never been back to the dealership for anything.... do my own oil changes...

Same, except I've been running 6 quarts.
I think that goes to show there's no reason to use an extra quart for no reason.

Can you give a reason why they run 4 gals. of oil in a 140 hp tractor and recommend a oil change every 800 hrs in the diesel tractor? I can...

Why don't they use 6 gals instead? lol
That literally has zero relevance here

They use 4 gal.... longer between oil changes ... more oil... less break down of the oil...

Like I said, completely irrelevant in this case, but I’ll play along.
If more oil is better, why don’t they use 6 gallons or 8? Maybe 24? You’re just trying to justify something that is unnecessary. But you do you.
The spec for the 2.7 is 6 quarts. You use as many as you’d like lol

Some do use that amount and oil change time increases.....
