Yea, I'd be interested to see the oil level A) after the proper warm up/15 minute rest and B) cold the morning after. I understand that's asking a lot, but it's in the name of science lol.
I contacted Ford customer service through the chat feature on Ford.com
The person that helped me said the dip stick part number for my VIN (2021 Badlands with the 2.7L) is MB3Z-6750-B
My dipstick part number is FT4E-6750-BF.
Online customer service couldn't help beyond that and directed me to...
That's the problem, and it's absurd that a major manufacturer hasn't corrected it. The dipstick needs to be accurate. We can't have a dipstick indicate a massively over filled crankcase (oil past the twist) when we fill it with the required 7 quarts of oil.
Started it and let it idle until it came up to operating temp. Turned it off and let it rest for 15 minutes. Checked the distick and it's over the max fill hole but not in the twist. That's that. I'm going with it.
I read this one and all 15 pages of another one. Unless I missed it, there's been no official definitive answer.
If I didn't get all the old oil out, I'm overfilled. If I drain out 1 quart, I could be under filled.
I've been looking for a bolt on brush guard for the mod bumper. Thanks. I think I'll order one. Is your bar 9"? Wifey wants one that doesn't cover Bronco.
My wife bought the Badlands with Sasquatch. We both love it and she said "if you like it so much, let's get another one."
At first I thought that was crazy talk but now I'm like, "Maybe she's on to something".
I don't know why I didn't think of this earlier, but I checked the level in the used oil container and it's just under 7 quarts. Take into account the amount I spilled on the garage floor, and I'm calling it 7 even. So I just added the 7th quart back in.
I just added a half quart (meaning I've put in 6 quarts total) and the oil is above the max fill hole. As others have said, I've changed a lot of oil in my 56 years and never had to arm wrestle a dipstick like this.
Well I wish I found this thread before I did my first oil change.
I opened the filler cap, removed the skid plates, drained the oil (made a mess), opened the oil filter housing, then let it drain for half an hour.
I put in 6 quarts of Amsoil OE full synthetic 5W-30. After 10 minutes, I flat...
The trailer will be open tomorrow if you need a flag. However, they charge $40 plus a mounting brack ($25 for a metal one, or $35 for a pair of suction cups).
I went to Holly Motorsports which is a couple miles up Dixie and bought a 9' flag for $26 (not open Sunday). Walmart sells a bike...
I just remembered I need to mount a flag. The only thing I could find was a 6' bike flag at Walmart that I'll buy tomorrow. Does anyone have a mount setup? I was thinking PVC as a base but not sure how to secure the PVC to a bracket that'll mount to the modular bumper.
