This is the only vehicle I’ve ever owned where half the service techs out there have no idea what the oil capacity is. I had to insist that they put 10 qts in my 20’ GT they didn’t want to do it. So bizarre.

I'm amazed so many people still use the dealerships.
When I bought mine, I told the sales person when he was trying to get me on the extended warranty: "this car will never come back here after it leaves today." Don't trust them to do anything correctly; heard far too many horror stories.

Thanks for responding and showing concern about the issue. I appreciate you all
I always check the invoice to make sure oil and filter are correct.if its only 8qts on invoice show it to service rep and have him put the oil in.these dipstick s are very difficult to read.

I hadn't been to a dealership for an oil change in decades, when my sister-in-law asked me to take her '17 Ecoboost to get one done a year or more ago.

They put in 5W-20, and barely enough of it to reach the LOW line on the dipstick.

I won't be back, Ford.

Mine gets the 10qts right but they put in 5W-30 not 5W-20 like it says.

The service advisor even argued And said “that’s what’s on your oil cap!” He was quickly proved wrong when we walked out and I popped the hood and it clearly said 5w20.

This, I would leave in.
