Ford Dealer Overfilled my 6.7 by 2 quarts
Took my 2017 f350 6.7 to ford for a 15k service. I noticed they put in 15 qts of oil. Oil on dipstick is about an inch above max line. The owners manual calls for 13 quarts with filter. They also did this on previous oil change at 10k miles. Does this damage the motor in the long run?
Update;
My manual states 13 quarts. I spoke to the dealer and apparently they were using old information. I sent an oil sample to Blackstone prior to this most recent change. Should have results next week. Ford dealer apologized and told me next service is on them. I can’t really complain too much unless my oil analysis comes back bad. Thanks for all the replies.

Great question. I did not realize they did it the first time until it was due for this oil change. I specifically asked the tech not to overfill it but these young techs never check the stick after a service. I will never service here again.

My 2016 holds 13 quarts with filter. I hear for the 2017s+ it's a misprint in the owner's manual.

I had this happen to me on my very first "free" oil change. I sent a sample to Blackstone to check for damage and correct oil. They reported no damage but it was 15-40. Now I know that the 15-40 isn't a big deal, but I told them I was headed to Canada in January and wanted the oil that was stated on the filler cap.
On a visit 2 years later they were still doing it all wrong. It is best to do it yourself, otherwise you have no clue what is going in there.

And this is why I buy my own oil and take 3 jugs (12 quarts) to the dealer. Only once have they mentioned that it needs 13 quarts, but I top off at home. When I had an Ecoboost, I took 6 quarts and the tech said I was 2 qts shy. Rather than argue, I told him I would top off at home. He came back later and said it only needed 6. LOL!

I understand everyone can’t do it,But I’m the only one that pops my hood.I even turned down my first free oil change when I bought my truck,I’ll do it thank you.Being my first 6.7 I did read the manual.Mine stated 15 qts also.I just so happened to check the stick at 12.5 qrts and couldn’t figure out why it was almost half way up the dip stick.Well I know why now.
