I REALLY wonder if Ford corrected this issue with the dipsticks on the 2022's! Given Ford's track record I sincerely hope so!
Any 22 owners that can confirm an accurate oil reading?

Try this:Iām so confused. The manual says check the oil before starting the engine or after at least 15 minutes. Either way, I find the dipstick very hard to read.
I just did my first oil change at 5150ish miles. Replaced with Mobil 1 truck & suv full synthetic. Carries the required 961 rating according to bottle.
I let it the warm oil drain for 45+ minutes with oil filter housing removed, oil fill cap removed, and even dipstick unseated to allow as much air in as possible. My drain pan doesnāt have exact measurements but it looked above 6 (as judged by eye between 5 & 10 markers). I put 6.5 in, did the flat foot crank, started, idled for 10, and tried to check after 15 mins. Tbh I canāt tell where the hell the oil is on the dipstick.
Then drove around the block, think Iāll check in the morning before starting it (as the manual states), but people in this thread saying you donāt want to check completely cold? That seems to differ from what the manual says.
TL;DR I changed my oil and have no idea how to tell if the appropriate amount is now in there lol. I donāt have a ton of experience doing my own oil changes, but Iāve always been able to read a dipstickā¦
So I checked completely cold this morning, and while itās very hard to discern where the ālineā is, I assume was reading over because the max fill hole had oil in it.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 my dealer.
I called my dealer and talked to two people and transferred to a 3rd. They want me to bring it in and check it out themselves. They said they'd even do an oil change from start to finish for a more thorough examination. I'd do that if they replaced my fresh Amsoil with Amsoil and an Amsoil filter.
A known issue that is NOT addressed by a manufacturer will keep coming back!Damn....is this confusion still going on? I read this thread back in October, and figured by the time I took delivery of my 2.7 (Next week or so), we'd finally have some clarity. Never in my life have I seen such bewilderment over an oil change..... check it hot, check it cold, check if after 15 minutes, after 2 hours of draining..... is it 6, 6.5, 7....
I'm dreading my first oil change now bc I'm gonna have zero idea what to do. Ha

I assume/hope you're getting a 22 next week ... if so can you plz take a picture of the p/n on the dipstick and check you oil level ...
It is a 2.7, what did I miss?Yea, lemme get over to the 1/3 thread l. Several guys have taken delivery.
@daddycreswell is yours a 2.7?

I guess in particular the part number of the dipstick, might not ālookā all that different even if they have changed itā¦These guys need a pic of the oil dip stick to see if it changed.
Assuming yours is a 2022
