Now we know why they change the oil capacity on the Bronco from 7 qts to 6qts... no more recall... like a dip stick... :)

For the last and final time then I’m done… they said 7 will not harm the engine….

For your info they know… my service dept ordered it for me… and they see no problem running 7…

I guess that because I have always ask why when something changes and I never get a straight answer ….I make a decision on what I observe… I never let the blind lead me….

How could they deny warranty work when they state that it will not harm the engine…

The dip stick would have no effect on warranty… just like a good oil other than Motorcraft would…7 is not overfill… they put 7.5 in at the factory

It’s my money

Funny that you say That no where Ford says it’s your choice…. Yet you quote the SSM that states you can run 7…. Just the facts

Ford say it is your choice... :) they have not said they made a mistake putting 7 qts in... just went to 6 so they would not have to recall over a years worth of dip sticks....my Bronco loves 7 qts... and its Raptor stick...

Then let us share accurate info... Ford has never admitted they made a mistake ... and never will either on the amount of fill or the wrong stick...they just changed the amount of oil in the Bronco to match the stick....and said we can run 7 qts in the Bronco if we want to.... that is accurate...

No... Ford said we can run 7 qts.... so your theory or proof that it's intended to hold 6 is VOID... I don't care about the F150.... I believe the Bronco as shown in the pics will hold 7 it is not a problem... the crank shaft in nowhere close to the oil in the pan so there is no problem of...

fill up every 2 weeks in my 2.7 2 door... drive 20 miles a day... 6 days a week...usually put in 9 gals.... shows 1/2 tank...

2.7 2 door... filled up this morning.... hand figured filled plum to the top.... can get 1 gal. more after it clicks off...22.2... half city half highway every day...

That is why he still has them.... :)

Had the same problem but fixed it myself.... the little flapper door on the gas fill up... the rubber seal had come off a little on the flapper... guess the spring on the gas nozzle caught it a pealed it back.... or there was a burr on the nozzle... put it back on and reset the code myself...

Keeping your boost up.... like pulling a heavy load... or keeping your foot in it and then shutting your engine off without idle time... a lot of boost will create heat.... just like running a tractor at full throttle for a period of time.... it needs to cool down....

Nothing new to people who have driven turbo autos.... if you run the turbo hard... yes let them cool down by idling other wise don't worry about it...

Correct... but the real debate is the 6 or 7 qt. amount.... as for me I think it was to be 7 qt all along... just Ford didn't want to replace the dip stick... so they change the amount to 6 qts...

looks to me the rotating assembly is a long way from the oil..... Ford 2.7 Ecoboost Oil Pan Replacement (Complete Guide) - Bing video

Right... the counterweights and connecting rods do not come in contact with the oil in the pan... 7 qts are fine and so is 6 qts if you want to run less than 7..... if the pan is sealed it does not matter if the oil is above or below the gasket sealing surface....
