Depending on your trust level with ford, this really all sounds suspicious.
Ford says to use 7 quarts...
Ford finds out (prob through us) that the dipstick is wrong....
Someone at Ford takes action, finds a dipstick that measures 7 qts correctly(-ish) as an immediate fix...
Someone with more power and has access to bean counters and lawyers undoes said fix and a decision is made to just change electronic files to match physical dipsticks.
I agree with ^^ the only way this is going to get resolved is if someone gets an F150 and Bronco oil pan, pours 6 quarts and see how they compare.
...there is one flaw with that...is the oil level in a pan higher than the block seal? (Meaning would either pan actually hold 6 quarts "unattached" from the block?
