Triton V10 oil level
I recently had my oil and filter changed. I just checked the level and it is almost a half inch above the "MAX" mark on the dipstick. Is that a problem?
Forum Discussion
My 2001 takes 6 qts. with filter. I was told (and it was mentioned here on the Forum) that Ford had, at times put in the wrong dipstick...causing people to put in an extra quart (to take it up to the top of the checkered area).
To correct this, 2 choices:
1- Take it to a Ford Truck dealer and BUY the correct dipstick or: as I did:
2- Do an oil change, (6 qts with filter) run the motor for bit, stop the motor, let things "settle" and see how high the oil level is. Then...take a small file and etch a line on the dipstick where the oil stops.
Works.
