Oil Cappacity question
My Haynes manual states that all gas engines hold 6qts. But for the last two changes I've removed 6 and almost 3/4qrts . My rig is an 04 crew 4x4 w/oil cooler above the filter. I fill the filter before install. I let her drain from pan and cooler real good. Even just over 6 and a 1/2 seems odd. But if its normal I need Your help to know. Also - I've checked oil level in three or more seamingly level areas and dont seem to be over filling?

Ford says for the 2-valver to put in 6 qts, and as long as it's between the marks, do NOT add more.
For the 3-valvers, it's 7 qts.
I used to get the occasional blue-puff on cold startup, but it's much less common, almost non-existant, now that I stopped putting 6.5 qts in my '01
