I'm able to do it on my Fusion and Equinox as well, only I just floor the accelerator pedal and turn the key. The motor cranks but won't fire.@Happy @NotApplicable YOU GUYS ROCK

There are boatload of threads about the 2.7 engine And I follow many of them so I don't recall exactly which.???
what do you mean they redesigned the heads? where did you hear that?
It's kind of odd if I'm reading it correctly because it sounds like you are reading are pretty consistent. Yet we've seen many others whose state that their oil level will go from the max line all the way up into the twist if they let the engine sit long enough.So far the only data I have is:
- Completely cold (right below full hole)
- 15 mins after being at full temp (3/4 to top hole, right near top of hatched area)
- Several hours after being at full temp (right below full hole)
And this is with 6qts
its no mystery .... @NotApplicable said he put in 6 qts .... at 7 he would be up the twistyIt's kind of odd if I'm reading it correctly because it sounds like you are reading are pretty consistent.

This has to be one of the biggest unsolved mysteries still outstanding on this forum. (Well besides Ford's decision making process)
Still a mystery when the engine takes 7 quarts but the dipstick tells me I'm way over filled.its no mystery .... @NotApplicable said he put in 6 qts .... at 7 he would be up the twisty
oh yeah, THAT! well, its not a mystery, its Ford at its best, cuz they keep ignoring it!Still a mystery when the engine takes 7 quarts but the dipstick tells me I'm way over filled.
Yeah the mystery is the whole quart versus dipstick reading.its no mystery .... @NotApplicable said he put in 6 qts .... at 7 he would be up the twisty
noare we getting a full 7 quarts
Astounding how Ford has STILL not addressed thisGetting ready for my 2nd change and there’s still no answer. Last time I started with 6 and added another 1/2 quart even though my dipstick showed full with 6. Added more after @flip said his engineer confirmed 7qt capacity. So basically ignore the dipstick and ignore the manual and shoot the gap in between for me.
Well they're too busy with all the blown engines to wory about how much oil they need to put in it.Astounding how Ford has STILL not addressed this
I ended up adding another .125 qt, so right around 6.125 put me at just below the max fill hole, tho reads a tad lower (near top of hatched area) when checked 15 mins after being driven…Getting ready for my 2nd change and there’s still no answer.
