First oil change.. 9.5qt?

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.

Nope, never do

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