In the 2016 Ford F-150 equipped with the EcoBoost 2.7L engine, the oil capacity is 6.0 quarts, and Ford recommends using Motorcraft SAE 5W-30 Premium Synthetic Blend Motor Oil. It is important to regularly check your oil level, especially when refueling. To do this, park your vehicle on a level surface, wait for at least 15 minutes for the oil to drain, and then pull out the dipstick to wipe it clean. Reinsert the dipstick fully, remove it again, and ensure the oil level falls between the top and bottom marks. If it's below the bottom mark, add enough oil to bring it back to the normal range.
Seven quarts, you idiot.
Unbelievable. You're correct by stating it's 6 quarts, and yet you're being insulted for being accurate?
Yes, it's over six.
Here's a rephrased and personalized version of the text: Just a heads-up from my earlier response - remember to give it about 5 minutes for the oil to settle in the pan before checking the level. It's not as simple as pouring it in and immediately checking, especially for both the 3.5 and 2.7 ecoboost engines.
The 2.7-liter Ecoboost V6 engine holds a total of six quarts of engine oil, which includes the capacity of the oil filter.
According to the information on Ford's Technician Page, the recommended engine oil for the United States is Motorcraft® SAE 5W-30 Premium Synthetic Blend, while in Canada, it is Motorcraft® SAE 5W-30 Super Premium. The specific product codes are XO-5W30-QSP for the US and CXO-5W30-LSP12 for Canada. The engine oil capacity, including the oil filter, is 6.0 quarts (5.68 liters).
It is six quarts.
It's not six or seven, it's actually 5.7 quarts.
It definitely requires more than 6 of mine, or my dipstick must be inaccurate. It typically requires 7 instead.
The manual recommends using a synthetic blend oil with a viscosity grade of 5w-20.
