Bronco Team Engineering Confirms 7.0 Quarts for 2.7L Engine Oil Change is Correct

[Rydfree]

Not mine. Puts it dead center in the middle

Mine was built in April 23 and from factory it showed 1/8" above the hatch marks . Went to dealer to buy oil and the parts guy gave me 7 qts but after reading here I only put 6 in. It still shows 1/8" above the hash marks.

Is there a final answer as to the amount of oil necessary for refilling, with filter replacement as well? I just wanted to make sure I get it correct.

Just read this 690 post thread

Are you waiting 15 minutes after starting it to check it?

I couldn't go through 47 pages to see if this is addressed but my owners manual clearly states 6 qts. Why is there discrepancy? Is the owners manual wrong?

It’s just an old post. That for some reason keeps being revived. The manual is correct

I wait a few minutes while I'm putting stuff away, probably closer to 7-10 minutes but not a full 15. Heck , the longer it sits and has time to drain back into the pan may show even higher ,lol.

Yeah that’s true. Not sure how mine is so much different

Have to just keep laughing. Mine keeps taking 7. You all do what you like.

No. There’s nothing wrong with the dipstick.

Other than the one behind the wheel, that is.

Sure, you can put in 7 qts if you want and other people can put in the corrected Ford specified 6 qts too. Here is the difference between 6 qts and 7 qts in the Bronco's oil pan....to each their own.

We should meet in the middle and do 6.5 qt.
