I just received this back from Ford:
Ford superseded MB3Z6750B to MB3Z6750F
I sure hope that I received the correct one!

New correct dipstick (here's part number) solves 2.7L 7-quarts engine oil capacity / maximum fill amount mystery! 🕵🏻♂️

We can ask Flip about deciphering the numbers but I can verify the one ending in the B works great.
I reported this one earlier to Flip and nothing was coming up yet and also mentioned it in this thread about a week ago. The engineering number for the F variant (MB3E-6750-BC) showed up under the 3.0 for Ranger and Bronco Raptors in that same filing for new tooling. I assume they’re interchangeable since the motors are the same as far as oil specifications but who knows it could vary slightly for some reason since Ford Performance always has to be special. I’ll try to get one when available.
I wonder if they just simply got mixed up altogether. -A is for the 2.3 and -B is the working and supposed intended one for the 2.7 but nobody ever got one from the factory so they just release an entirely new one? Maybe this is their way of forcing a correction through the system. If it comes back that MB3Z-6750-B is wrong it’ll also trickle down to anyone with the FT4Z-6750-B dipsticks without actually saying they put the entirely wrong dipstick in to begin with. Mild conspiracy theory here but that seems like the easiest way to go through a silent recall. This would explain why they detailed the tooling change as for being “readability” and not outright saying Lima Engine Plant installed the wrong ones entirely. Brush it under the rug basically by hiding the fact they called for FT4Z-6750-B from FWD Nano engines originally in the parts system by silently converting the number and then saying a new part supersedes it for “readability” concerns.

It wouldn't surprise me if the F is a bit longer than the B. I'm not convinced this new indicator is the correct one either as it shows about 1/4" short of the nominal full. The old indicator is exactly halfway up the twist. In my 2.3l the reading is dead on the nominal full. Here is my process for oil change and measuring in case in case anyone has questions:
When I changed my oil, I made sure it was on perfectly level ground (checked with an 8ft box level and put a couple pieces of plywood under my back wheels to ensure perfectly level).
Warmed up the engine and I let the oil drain overnight.
I got 6.7 qts out. I figure the residual was in the filter and drain pan that didn't get measured. Added 7 qts oil, ran engine and let it sit overnight again to get a cold reading in the morning.
Yes I inserted the indicator all the way in to the handle shoulder.

I just received my correct dipstick from my dealer and now my 7qt oilchange is spot on. Thanks for the research into this!

Here are the other photos
i picked up the new dipstick yesterday, the “B” model with the black triangle logo at the top “
” (instead of the “H”.I measured both………and as started, the new one is shorter and measures oil at exactly as this picture below illiterates……..
For reference, my FE only has about 2200 miles and I haven’t touched the oil since driving it off the lot. The original dipstick with the “H” branded at the top of the dipstick shows my oil level above the twist in the dipstick. The new one shows the oil about 3/4 full, or the normal indication as per the above reference photo.
Here are photos of both dipsticks and the indications.

Please keep us posted, my dealer's parts dept told me the same thing.
Did you order one? It’s likely the same thing just with a different number.
Even the original one went through two dipstick variants btw. Top one was from pre-production

Yeah, my current one is the 2nd in your pic. I'm afraid that MB3Z6750F is just a new part number for my existing stick. I'll probably just order the MB3Z6750B online to not take any chances.Did you order one? It’s likely the same thing just with a different number.

My dealer only put 6qts in for this morning's oil change...So having an accurate dipstick and changing my own oil is going to be important to me.

This is short of the nominal full. If it was the right stick it would be at the line. Anything else is a close enough reading.i picked up the new dipstick yesterday, the “B” model with the black triangle logo at the top “

Are those sticks in your possession? Are the BC and BF sticks identical length and level markings? any difference besides the letter?Did you order one? It’s likely the same thing just with a different number.

Here are the 2 dip sticks from the 2.3l and the new 2.7l one. They are completely different but the numbers only differ by the last 2 letter.
As I’ve stated, and flip has kindly displayed, the dipstick engineering number was specifically tied to the Raptors 3.0 engine though it should carryover the same because nothing that I’m aware of was changed pertaining to the valve cover, oil pan, or oil capacity. Likewise 2.7 and 3.0 engines in FWD cars where our original dipstick part number is sourced also share the same dipstick
Yes I took the picture and have access to them. The incorrect dipsticks (top two) are the exact same. They’re just varied for likely changes between models (one could be for a Fusion Sport 2.7 for example and the other a Lincoln 3.0). Both will measure to 6 quarts.
