It's supposed to take 13 quarts. Might be worth checking your oil level to make sure they didn't overfill. An extra quart probably wouldn't hurt anything if they did.

Thanks Tom I will go out and check it. My 7.3 took 16 quarts That's when I was doing it myself. So 14 quarts didn't seem so far fetched.

As far as the fuel filter I watched a video and will be changing it myself. It's simple and really getting whacked at the dealer.
