First oil change.. 9.5qt?

[thelostone]

There were a couple call outs here stating that using ceratech during an oil change almost nullifies the tick.

Ryunker... Did you prefill the filter? I have always done this for a longtime. Plenty of controversy on doing this. It might not make any difference but my 2011 has no tick.

what's the controversy? I thought every agreed refilling the filter lets the oil pressure come up a couple seconds faster on the first startup?

No issue on putting them up empty, do it all the time

Is ceratech an oil additive. Newer to this forum, just hearing about it. Thanks

Presoak vs prefill and plug

I was 1qt low when I checked after driving home from the dealer. Car had less than 25 miles. I added 1/2 qt 5-30w Ford blended to bring it up to the mddle of the safe zone on the dipstick. Checked it again at 500 miles and it hasn't changed. I don't see what S/S has to do with oil amounts.

Glad I spotted your comment. My new car was at the bottom of the low point as well - cold. I guess I better go buy a qt.

I did my 1000 mile oil change yesterday. I used 10 quarts and also Pre filled my oil filter. Used 5W-30 full synthetic. No typewriter tick noticed afterwards. Oil level on dipstick is upper cross hatches.

This is what the dipstick level showed prior to the oil change. Factory fill with 1000 mile on the car.

Yo, so I finally got my first oil change at 5k miles. I wanted to do it earlier, but the dealership insisted on waiting. I don't plan on keeping this car for more than 3 years, so I'm not too worried about it. But man, I miss my 550.

Anyway, the technician told me the oil capacity was 9.5 quarts. I checked online and saw that it says 10 quarts or 9.5 liters in the owner's manual.

Ford's software does say 9.5 quarts or 9.0 liters, they gave me a printout.

I don't get it. But whatever, I just added another half quart and now it's all good.

My 2024 GT Ford Mustang owners manual says 10 quarts, including the filter.

I’ve found a manual that says 9.5 and one that says 10. It’s a large sump. As long as it’s in the hash marks you will be fine.
