Yesterday I changed the oil. Checked it right after with out starting just to see. Oil all over the dip stick but read about halfway up the hash marks. Drove the car for 45 minutes or so around town and down the interstate. Let it sit for 15 minutes and checked it again. Perfectly even with top of the hash marks.
Go to a football game, drive the 25 minutes home and about 20 minutes in after dropping into 4th at about 60 mph and running it up to 85 mph and into 5th, I go to 6th, drop to 80 mph and just start cruising.
The car then begins to bog down. That is the only way I can describe it. The RPMs never vary, but the car is acting like I'm brake checking. I push the gas a little and the car goes. Shift to 5th, cruise at 70 mph for a minute, the car does it again and this time very badly. I give it a little gas and the car goes like normal.
I shifted to 4th, ran the car up to 80 mph into 5th, and when I let off of the gas to hold 85mph, the car does it again, give some gas, nothing wrong, go back to a steady speed of 70 mph, does it again. This continues all the way home.
I checked the oil when I got home, exactly the same spot as the last check. Dead even with the top hash mark. The car has been sitting all night. I just check the oil again, same spot on the hash marks.
About to go for a drive and see if I can replicate the issue. If I do, going straight to the dealership.
I checked around the oil filter, no oil observed. I used the recommend Motorcraft oil purchased at the dealership for the oil change.
Any thoughts?
