I’m fairly certain all current 2.7 platforms are 7 quarts, but you make some valid points and provided a solution, kudos to you sir.You are most welcome...this stupid dipstick thing has haunted me since my first oil change back in October...my hope now is that it is TRULY the correct stick (it is now listed as such in the parts database) rather than Ford teasing us with a "7 quart oil capacity" and then later figuring out that it really holds 6 and then just finding that the 3.5 liter stick happens to have the 7-quart level fall into the hash mark range towards the upper limit (which it does beautifully). Call me skeptical but it seems ready odd that the "solution" to the intended stick being a quart off is repurposing an existing stick intended for an entirely different engine perplexes me. Even so, it makes me happier that at least all appears well as soon as I measure my oil.
I would wager that a lot of folks, however, will buy the right stick, then check their oil immediately after adding it and not wait the at least 15 minutes, and then complain that their oil measures too low...wait for it...
So to everyone...if you buy the correct stick, please wait until AFTER 15 minutes has passed after shutting off your car/adding oil to check the level (as per the manual).
