So they have clarified that the original factory dipstick is correct yet we still have an abundance of these threads? Why are the mods allowing disinformation?
Your guess is as good as mine
In addition to the SSM we have an oil pan from a Bronco and an oil pan from an F-150...with six and seven quarts measured in both. The Bronco oil pan holds LESS than the F-150 6-quart pan for the same engine. I'm not sure whatever additional definitive information you were hoping Ford will give us, because they haven't replied to any of our inquiries for over a year. Ford now indicates that the newest six quart stick is the only proper stick for the Bronco with a 2.7. Additionally, if you type your VIN in on the Ford website with the HTML version of the owner's manual, it too indicates 6 quarts. The correct answer (from Ford) is 6 quarts. The "factory fill" amount means nothing to us at this point because we have no way of verifying exactly how much the person adding oil actually added. We can, however, use the correct stick to check our own oil and adjust it as needed to the correct level.Your guess is as good as mine
Here’s the information straight from Ford. This was a special service message released by them.
I completely agree
The on-board manual on my 2021 Badlands, 2.7 states it takes 7 quarts, not 6. Is my manual incorrect? My Ford service department is looking into it, because they refused to put more than 6 in it today.
Yes, it’s incorrect. They haven’t sent out an update for that manual yet. Your dealership should follow what the workshop manual says, which is 6 quarts.
. Asking for an accurate dipstick seems to be a reasonable request.
The facts are that the correct amount of oil is 6 quarts for an oil change for the Bronco 2.7 and that the 2.7s have (and have had) the correct stick (per Ford...much of what else is out there on the interwebs is a variation of those facts). Not sure what the conspiracy theorists think Ford has to gain by running a "covert op" designed to trick owners into adding that extra quart? Much bigger mistakes have been made over the years in automotive manuals and have since been corrected...revisions exist for a reason. The funny part in all of this is that while many folks who refuse to believe the current Ford manual for oil change capacity say nothing about the differential capacities or the radiator capacity or any of the other Information in the manual...so they trust Ford to produce their Bronco and the entire manual except for the oil change part?Wow, people arguing on the interwebs, who would have thought.
When arguing a point I suggest one come with facts, not yell for suppression, it can turn out to be very SADS
I think it’s the 7~7.5qt factory fill vs the 6qt service fill that creates the confusion and skepticism. A quart, quart and a half of variation is quite a lot to ignore. Most engines will either be critically low or oil aerating high with that type of deviation.
