The manuals loaded in the vehicles are not updated yet...you can type your VIN in here: https://www.ford.com/support/vehicle/bronco/2022/owner-manuals/ Or skip the VIN and just type in year, then HTML, and for 2021 and 2022 (both pre 06 and post 06 builds for 2022) you get this:My Bronco tells me 7 quarts including the filter. I will do exactly what it says lol
If it is 6 and the correct level is shown on the dipstick then why does my dipstick show overfilled from the factory.. you’d think they would save some money by putting in one less quart of oil.The manuals loaded in the vehicles are not updated yet...you can type your VIN in here: https://www.ford.com/support/vehicle/bronco/2022/owner-manuals/ Or skip the VIN and just type in year, then HTML, and for 2021 and 2022 (both pre 06 and post 06 builds for 2022) you get this:
So you can either do what your not yet updated in-vehicle manual says or follow the updated HTML manual (and the stick level in your Bronco which is more than likely the H handle model that accurately measures 6)...but for those who seek the correct amount per Ford, it is still 6.
And that continues to be the mystery. Ford has double downed on 6 qts, yet continues to fill them passed the 6 qt mark on the dipstick....why?If it is 6 and the correct level is shown on the dipstick then why does my dipstick show overfilled from the factory.. you’d think they would save some money by putting in one less quart of oil.
Sadly I don't think Ford is ever going to give us a straight answer...it has taken them well over a year to even get us to the point we are right now (a new dipstick that has the same full mark as the original one after a brief addition of TWO 7-quart sticks in the database and then the deletion of both) AND a SSM and updated HTML manuals (but not in-vehicle manual or PDF). I think it is just a slow-moving corporation (ask anyone who has not yet received their Bronco after several years to weigh in on that). I am even more baffled by all the folks in this forum who may work at Ford dealerships who have not yet been able to get their hands on both a F150 2.7 pan and a Bronco 2.7 pan to do a fill comparison...that would answer the big question. I don't have an extra 400 dollars to throw at that question, but if anyone reading this works at a Ford dealership and gets a discount on parts, I'm certain many of us would gladly chip in a few dollars each to have that experience happen! Put them side by side, fill them both with 6 quarts of water, and measure the top of the levels to the top of the rails...Yes mine was built 9/03 and it shows 1 quart high
OK, so here we are on page 36, and the sage continues. Allow me to share with you what happened to me today at the dealership.
I posted earlier on this thread, what a total cluster fxxk this is, and what I experienced today is just another confirmation. (Hello @Ford, are you listening?)
So, knowing this whole discussion went from 7 quarts, to 6 quarts, with allot of dip stick shit going on as well, I asked the service coordinator to clarify whether they would do the oil change with 6 or 7 quarts. He had heard about this issue, and looked it up on the Ford system. He confirms, 6 quarts would be replaced.
I struggled a bit, but gave in, because as long as they record the quantity properly on the bill, then it is all covered by warranty.
This evening, I pick up my Bronco and lo and behold, the invoice states 7 quarts. I ask the service coordinator what the hell is going on, he states, well they likely put in like 6.5 and then round it up.
This whole thing is just total bullshit (apologies for cussing, but I have to let go) So now the field is replacing either with 7, maybe because they are following the dip stick (or not waiting long enough for it to drain down) or they are replacing 6 and billing 7.
Either way, @FordMotorCompany, get your shit together and clarify this mess! Maybe you would prefer to go to court? I doubt it!
Build date was 9/7 and took delivery on 10/1. I have the H stick and the first thing I did was scribe the fill line from the factory which was 1/4" above full so I concluded they are still filling it with 7.5 quarts. My plan is to fill to this scribed line at every oil change which will be probably close to a 7 quart fill. Oh and I am not having the dealer change my oil.Can someone who has received a new Bronco with the 2.7 in the last 8 weeks confirm or deny 6 quarts and whether or not the oil level is measuring correctly on the dipstick?
Has anyone drained the oil and measured their oil capacity within the first month of ownership?
My Bronco was delivered on 9/16 and the oil level on the H stick was EXACTLY on the full mark. Granted, the dealership could have drained off excess, but I doubt they are that competent.Can someone who has received a new Bronco with the 2.7 in the last 8 weeks confirm or deny 6 quarts and whether or not the oil level is measuring correctly on the dipstick?
