Updated 10/23: Now that I’ve fooled with this for the last few days I wanted to share some tips to hopefully save you the time that I’ve wasted changing the oil on my 2.7L for the first time. I thought I was prepared for everything but this engine is really different compared to others I’ve owned as far as the oil change and check procedure. If you’ve owned one before I’m sure this is obvious, but many of us are first time Ford owners so the eco boost is a new learning process.

First off reference this bulletin from right after the 2.7L came out in 2015:

SSM 45195 - 2015 F-150/Edge And 2016 MKX Equipped With A 2.7L - Engine May Appear To Have Low Oil Level

Some 2015 F-150/Edge and 2016 MKX vehicles equipped with a 2.7L engine may appear to have low engine oil level if the proper procedures are not followed. Refer to the Owners Guide, Maintenance, Engine oil check section. When checking the engine oil level after shutting off the engine, wait at least 15 minutes prior to checking in order to allow the oil to drain back to the oil pan. The engine oil level can be checked immediately if the engine has not been started. When changing the engine oil, the engine needs to be at normal operating temperature and the oil filter removed before draining the oil. Allow the oil pan to drain completely for up to 5 minutes. Check oil level after filling by following the oil level check procedure.
The manual calls for 7 quarts. I was prepared to not use all of it due to previous reports. I bought 7 anyway just in case. I knew I needed to let it drain extra time and wait to check the oil level. But that still didn’t help me do it correctly.

First mistake: I didn’t open the filter housing before draining the oil. I made sure to wait for drainback prior to opening the plug, but apparently you need to do the filter first to allow the oil to drain from that area. Perhaps this contributed to my later issue.

Second mistake: After waiting 20-30 min for the pan to drain, I closed everything up and added 6 quarts. I waited 20 more min for the oil to reach the pan. (This is not a quick process when done correctly, more reason not to use a quick lane service.) I checked the dipstick and it was about halfway between the dots. Half quart low right? So I add a half quart. That’s a total of 6.5qts on a 7qt capacity engine. Figured I was safe and went about my business.

Fast forward a couple days and I check the level after it had been sitting in the parking lot at work all day. Had to check it about 3 times because the oil was still clean and the dipstick is different than I’m used to. It was definitely overfull. This is where I discovered the 2nd mistake that I didn’t realize I had made at the time. There is a crosshatched area on the dipstick and the normal “add” and ”full” dots. Well it turns out the top of the crosshatch is what you’re aiming for. The top dot is the “max” level.

So when I thought I was a half quart short while filling, it was probably good or already over even though I added less than engine capacity.

As you can see here if you go much past the top dot and near the twist in the dipstick, you’re almost completely filling the pan. This could cause the oil to foam and cause PCV issues and push oil past places you don’t want it to go. Would it be fine? Maybe, but long term I wouldn’t want to deal with an engine overfilled on oil.

Looks like there are a couple Ronin knockoffs on Amazon. One review said don't buy because it wouldn't lock into place. I wouldn't recommend them but wanted to share the info for anyone brave enough to try:

Member review below:
Well, I took the risk, ordered one, and here is what I find out.

Yes, it does fit. (No issues on the 2.7 whatsoever)
It has a magnetic tip. (should catch metal that is magnetic)

It's like the others in that it doesn't positively "lock" against the external tabs and relies on a spring washer for tension. I put 500 miles on it so far and no leakage, but I still want to safety wire it so that there is no chance of it rotating, because it "feels" too easy to rotate by hand. Other than that, it appears nicely made and has a nice little ball valve and a drain cap. That will make controlling the gush of fluid much easier, and as a result oil changes will also be easier to accomplish.

Overall 4/5, If it had been predrilled for safety wire, I would have scored 5/5. Works perfect and the price was not excessive.

Updated with my findings after the fact. Has anyone managed to get 7 quarts out of their 2.7? Do you have to jack it up a certain direction?

couple of things i dont know:

1st - what do these magnets do? since the engine is made of Aluminum?

2nd- are these drain valves a one time install? don't you need to take them out and replace the O-rings on them?

First off, if you watched the recent vid from the engine builder on the 2.7, this is NOT the same engine that's been around. It's a new generation, called nano...nano nano? lol, so not sure that everything applies the same as before.

I was under the impression that you're supposed to change out the yellow plastic drain plug for a new one every few oil changes. Would you at least have to change out the O-rings on these reusable ones?

The upper part of the block is aluminum but the lower portion and internals are all steel so the magnet would attract small particles coming from the rings, crankshaft, cams, etc especially during break-in

Quick question: Where did you get that dip stick diagram? If that is from that owners manua, what page? I can’t find it. Literally just got my Bronco 2.7 back from dealer for first oil change and it is over filled and I’m pissed. I need to gather some detailEd info before I unload, thx!

Found it! Page 321 of owners manual

I haven’t used any of them but I think the idea is (minus the no-valve UPR) that since you don’t have to remove the plug you wouldn’t have to change the main o-rings. Plus they probably use higher quality materials than the OEM plug. The Ronin plug specifically mentions they are lifetime seals. They do sell replacement parts but only if they are lost or damaged.

Curious if it locks into the OEM pan like all others.

We need a good video on oil change! I saw one video on oil change but need more information. Sounds like pulling the oil filter first and then doing drain plug is best option to get all the oil out.

What oil did you use?

By the way good idea on replacing the plastic filter housing.

Been doing oil changes since a kid, never thought it would be this detailed and exact steps need to be followed to get it right. Nice write up OP. Looks like if you are willing and able, then do it yourself and get it done right.

We need a good video on oil change! I saw one video on oil change but need more information. Sounds like pulling the oil filter first and then doing drain plug is best option to get all the oil out.

What oil did you use?
Pennzoil Platinum 5-30. If I could do it again I would probably look for Castrol Magnatec but the jugs Walmart had still had the SN rating. Manual calls for oil rated SP. I mainly wanted to get the factory fill out and replaced with full synthetic.
