I’ve checked mine hot after waiting 15 min per the manual and cold the next morning. The two readings are actually pretty similar which is to say they are just about at the top hash mark. Have been that way since I started checking the day I took delivery (a little over 500 miles on car now)...
Case in point why I never let anyone change my oil. The youngest least experienced kids are employed as oil changers, but it’s really the dealers responsibility to assure they are properly trained. The dealer owes you compensation (refund) for their mistake!
You need not worry about engine...
I agree it appears that way. Why are we disparaging a model of the Mustang on this forum with total disregard to the members here who are proud of their new Bullitt. If you don’t like the Bullitt that’s your prerogative, but ruining another’s excitement with their new car isn’t cool.
I can’t even imagine how cool would be to have a job like that! And you’re not an ass, but I bet you’re sorting of kicking yourself for not looking at that business card earlier!

It appears you have to disconnect the right side strut to get the battery cover off leaving you with only one strut holding the hood up. Has anyone tried to slot out the battery cover so you can get it off without disconnecting the strut? Just seem like a pain halving to do that when checking...
I’m so OCD about it that I feel like I really can’t always enjoy it. Won’t drive it in the rain or leave it outside at night. Worry about parking when I take it anywhere, etc. Wish I could lighten up a bit and enjoy it more!
And prefill that Ford filter before installing.
You’re engine relies on friction to complete the break in process. Full synthetic oil has better lubricity and there is a little less friction in the motor. Therefore switching too soon can slow down the break in process. I would wait at least 5K...
Hope it works out to your satisfaction! I’ve seen really good shops brush matching touch up paint in the scratches, wet sand, respray a clear coat over the area, wet sand and buff. If it’s done well you can’t even tell. On the other end of the spectrum I’ve seen less skilled shops that will...
