I went with this one because it has little tabs to keep it from backing out and a magnet and a ridge to put a hose on in case you want to leave your skid plate on:No one cares, it only matters how much oil you put back in and if you can figure that out then you shouldn’t post on this thread
In all seriousness, I just added that drain plug to my cart for future purchase! Thanks for the link!
F stick is not correct...I have one of those and it accurately measures 7 quarts. It was replaced by the C stick.
Based on recommendations here and from my Dealer...that is what I and others (at the Dealership and in this Group) have ordered. So at this point.....I am totally confused. The saga continues........
Yeah they are hard to keep up on them all. Basically it goes like this...
Ford has never blamed the engine oil capacity for any warranty claims. Many people had the original factory overfill of 7, many had changed their oil (unnecessarily IMO) at 1000 miles and then had their engine go. And some had 6 quarts because they went by the dipstick (and many dealers were originally only putting in 6, because that's what the 2.7 is known to take)
TL,DR
Ford to Bronco owners: We put 7.5 quarts in during factory dry fills. You should put 7 quarts in during service changes.
Knucklehead Bronco owners: Hey, why is the oil level on the dipstick too high with 7 quarts?
Ford: [Introduces multiple dipstick revisions with no explanation.]
Knucklehead Bronco owners: WTF?!?
Ford Engineers to Bronco owners: Uhh, use 6 quarts during service changes, not 7. [Silently deletes 7.5 quart service fill from all documents.]
Knucklehead Bronco owners : Fucking Rockstars!I’m gonna stick with 7 quarts until I get a better explanation.
Thank you.....that is what I have ordered and what the dealer said to order. I guess the proof will be to use it, change with 7 quarts and see what it reads. Thanks again!!!!
I have the Raptor stick and yes it reads accurately at 7 quarts...but the dealer you ordered from must not have been aware of the SSM that indicates you should be using 6 quarts, and in the parts catalog for the Bronco 2.7 the only stick listed now is this one:
A quick way to confirm that the C stick is the correct one is to call a dealer now that the catalog updated (that happened just days ago). I believe that the C stick (after the very short time the F/M sticks were in there) is the only choice (at least until Ford tells us 6 quarts isn't correct either...). The good news is that you don't even need another stick if you have the OEM one with the H on the handle, because it is an exact match to the fill line and max hole on the C stick. If you have 6 quarts per the SSM your OEM stick will work just fine.I have the Raptor stick and yes it reads accurately at 7 quarts...but the dealer you ordered from must not have been aware of the SSM that indicates you should be using 6 quarts, and in the parts catalog for the Bronco 2.7 the only stick listed now is this one:
I did the same order... Raptor stick..... will be using 7qt. in my Bronco..... don't trust Ford on the 6qt. They are just covering up their stick screw up.... 4000 miles on mine now with 7.5 factory fill....
Seems like this info changes weekly. I guess for now I will keep the OEM stick, hold onto the F stick and see how many quarts they continue to suggest. If 7 quarts does not cause a problem.....what the heck....go with the F stick and put in 7 quarts. I have tons of FP points to use for oil changes. Hopefully when needed....my Dealer can figure it out (things may change again by then).

Not sure of the logic on that one...if Ford is truly covering up a stick screw up, why would they have added TWO additional 7 quart sticks (screwing up 2 more times), THEN screwed up a third time by listing the CURRENT 6 quart stick as the only correct one in the catalog? ESPECIALLY because the OEM stick and the C stick both measure accurately at 6 quarts...so technically, if Ford wants to, they can write their screw up as an inaccurate capacity screw up, not a stick screw up...which basically the SSM already does). It would have been much easier to simply screw up once and cut off the stream of new sticks by just putting out a memo indicating that the F stick was the final answer...but that is not what happened. With the cost of engines and lack of availabilty of them, Ford would have to have very few brain cells to reduce oil capacity across the board (at the risk of engine damage) simply to "cover up" a stick mishap (especially the THIRD mishap). I imagine you (hopefully) will follow the manual for other capacities and instructions, so why choose to purposefully ignore the oil capacity section?
