Just put in 6 quarts and etch a mark on the dipstick at the level it shows. This will be your new "Full" mark on the dipstick. No need to put anymore in than that. I put in 6 quarts and it reads right at the mid level mark. That's my "Full" mark level. My Mach uses very, very little oil so it's not like my dipstick is'nt going to show a oil level mark on it when it does use it.

For the money, Motorcraft.
What are the advantages of a $15 oil filter?

Yes, my oil cap says 5w-20 also... That is the correct weight

It is due to the super high tolerances in our engines so that the oil can flow properly.
