I want to know what everybody does with the .4 Qts. that are left in the container?Hey Ford, why the change from 5.3 to 6.6 quarts of oil?
If I had to guess I would say fleet service data collected by Ford demonstrated a need for greater contaminant capacity and/or cooling. The more oil you have in the sump the more contaminants it can hold, and the more heat can be added to it without affecting oil lubricity between oil service intervals.Hey Ford, why the change from 5.3 to 6.6 quarts of oil?

Save it for the next oil change.I want to know what everybody does with the .4 Qts. that are left in the container?
Not always a great thing....too much oil can cause windage issues, but this was avoided with the 1.5.Having a plastic pan doesn't bother me. I love that there is a lot of oil in this engine.
A measuring cup? I little but anal. Lol. I just estimate using the markings on the side of the jug.I buy my oil in 5 qt jugs (cheaper). I use one jug (5 qts) Then I convert 1.6 qts to oz (51). Then I use a measuring cup with oz marked and add that amount from the next jug. When I do the wife's Ecosport I do the same with the appropriate amount of oil. I always have a partially full 5 qt jug that I use next oil change. Both my vehicles use Mobil 1 5w-20 and Motorcraft FL-910S filters so that makes it easier. I also buy Mobil 1 15w-50 in 5 qt jugs. I use it in my Kymco motor scooter, my John Deere Garden tractor, my small mowers, and my pressure washer. The capacities for these are usually in oz, so I just use my measuring cup again.
I use the TLAR method--seems to've worked for the past 40 years or so.I just estimate using the markings on the side of the jug.
Yup, always change my own oil. Never had a problem with TLAR.I use the TLAR method--seems to've worked for the past 40 years or so.
