Stupid oil question

I recently bought a 2001 EB Expedition with the 4.6 and was wondering how many quarts it took? The owner's manual say's the 5.4 takes 6 quarts but says nothing about the 4.6. I know my DOHC Cobra takes 6 quarts but just want to make sure about the Expy.

Thanks in Advance !
Andre

6 quarts. Some people use 7 because of the oil consumption.

Thanks, just wanted to make sure since the manual only mentions the 5.4 and not the 4.6.

Whatever you do, go with synthetic, it's definitely worth it. Motorcraft is not too expensive compared to other synthetics. 5-20 and change every 5k miles, I pushed 12k once, if you do that with regular you need a tow truck.

Well motorcraft does not make or sell a full synthetic oil. the 5w20 is only semi-synthetic and pushing it to 12k is just plain dumb!

Not true. Even though the dealer would have to order it for you, Motorcraft DOES make full-synthetic oil, in 5w20, 5w30, & 5w50.
