Changing the oil in my 2004 F150 supercab 5.4L (not a heritage)...forgot how much oil I needed to put in though..Help!

 

Where is your owners manual?

Six quarts

Do you have a new MOTORCRAFT oil filter?

 

this was my first vehicle..so i bought it used & without a manual....yeah I have everything else..just forgot how much oil to put in...thanks, I appreciate the fast response

 

That's funny, my 5.4 takes 7 quarts

 

Put in 6 then check the dip stick. I'd be willin to bet yours takes 7 quarts

 

^^^^^^
What he said.

 

CHECK ENGINE TYPE FIRST

2V 6 quarts

3V 7 quarts

There was a change/running change in the 04 - 05 model years.

To the original poster, check which engine you have and check the level at 6 quarts.

Also get yourself an owners manual.

 

7 quarts with the filter if it's a 3-valve

 

...and all those other pieces of paper in the owners manual cover, go to:
Ford Vehicles: Ford cars, trucks, SUVs, and crossovers
Click on "Owners" in the top right. Go to the My Ford Owners Site.

Click "Owner Guides" under "Owner Resouces".

Enter your vehicle details and you're done.

Good luck,

Definitely use the Motorcraft filter though...I used a Fram on my wife's Escape, and that damn thing sounded like a lifter tapping on start-up until I replaced that filter with a Motorcraft with the silicone valve in it.

 

My 5.4 also takes 7! Ditto on the Motorcraft filters!!!

 

You could give me a Fram filter and I would be quite rude , even mean and throw it back and made sure I'd hit you in the Face!

Such Junk!!! Motorcraft or Wix/Napa Oil Filters!!!!

Can you tell I HATE Fram Oil Filters.....

 

7 in my 06.
