Not all bro, my 02 takes a little bit over 5 and that is allowing all oil to drain for plenty of time and changing out to a new filter.
general consensus is 5 quarts for 99-00 and 6 for 01-04
So I guess you arent gonna tell the details of why that happened.......
Theres a reason for everything.
Oh yeah.... my 04 takes exactly 6 quarts where as my former 99 took 5 quarts.
Our cars require 6 quarts including the filter....thats what my manual says anyways.
My car has always used some oil...actually around 1/2 quart to 1 quart every 3K. Thats the norm with these engines....if your not burning oil then your in the minority by a long shot. Either that or you drive like a grandmaw. If your going WOT and running high RPMs, you should loose around 1/2 quart at least every 3K.
After the cams and when I would be shifting @ 6200RPMs or so, my oil consumption would go up alot. take it easy and it wouldnt really burn anything.
half way through 2001 ford switched a lot of things over. I know my car take just over 6 quarts. If i put in 5 quarts and run it, it will show the oil low light. Your car might be diff, i dont really care either wayAll of you guys have my head spinning!
I have a 2001 GT that I bought new. After 10,000 miles, I added a Vortech V2.
My manual calls for 5 quarts. I've been giving it only 5 quarts even since the V2. I use only Mobile 1 Synthetic like the warranty on the V2 suggested. And, now, after 40,000 miles, I've had no issues.
I think that the N/A guys that are giving 6 quarts are hurting themselves.
I am living proof. Go with 5 quarts of synthetic. You can't go wrong with that.
