Ford has already addressed the issue with an SSM. Don’t expect them to send you a letter or something notifying you of the change. They want dealers performing vehicle maintenance, so I’m guessing the SSM is probably all that will be released about it. And I’m sure they will quietly fix any owners manual sections that say 7 quarts still.
"Thanks for bringing this to our attention. we have researched and updated all our oil change charts and researched the dipstick part number you noted. Our research showed that part number was for a 2022 bronco only at this time. Vehicle spec for the 2.7 in the bronco is 7.0 quarts, Jimmy said he was sending the extra quart with Jarrod at no charge. Once again we thank you for bringing this to our attention, sorry for any inconvenience, we look forward to your business as always."
So, read Wolfeman above. This issue is NOT resolved, what a fxxxx mess!
He said he had his oil changed the very beginning of July. The information and the SSM was just released by Ford 5 days ago. So once again, it IS resolved.
How can it be resolved when Ford's "research" verifies it is 7 quarts for a '21 with a dipstick that reads high and only 6 for a '22 with a different dipstick? This can only mean the oil pans are different or they removed a quart's worth of plumbing on the 2022 models.
Maybe I missed it, but I've never seen an article or statement from Ford (not some random dealer) verifying that it is 7 quarts for a 2021 and 6 quarts for a 2022.
OK, Ducati, so you must be an insider and have access to relatively brand new documentation. Why don't you prove your point, validate your statement by sharing this secretive SSM, whatever that is, here on the forum. That would clearly provide good information. And as I said, because @Ford is a failure..........................thanks
It's already been posted somewhere on here, but here it is again. You might need to zoom in on it, not sure how else to get a picture of it posted.
the SSM clearly says they are in the process of updating owners manuals.Well, my onboard user manual still says 7 qt.
Post #1 in this thread, "Bronco Team Engineering" is/was the source of verification of 7 quarts
Let's assume that is final, 6 qts. Are the dipsticks in early '21s accurate or not?It's already been posted somewhere on here, but here it is again. You might need to zoom in on it, not sure how else to get a picture of it posted.
I don't have an answer to that, I don't know who all was involved with this original post. All I know is that Ford never actually acknowledged, in writing, anything about the oil level being correct or incorrect until they released this new SSM that I know of.
