Yup, 7 quarts. Just changed the oil on my Wife's Expy this afternoon and 7 quarts filled it to the line on the dipstick.

I use a full synthetic as well and it's a bit hard to see. That's why they have the holes on the stick. The oil will "fill" the holes if you look closely enough.

Nope, it's a blend. Sometimes the syns help the chatter of these engines.

Synthetic oil. Some folks on here have reported that the synthetic oils rather than conventional or blends help to quieten the ticking, clicking, rough idling, chatting, chitty chitty bang bang of these engines.

I personally started to use Syn when my '01 5.4L Expedition started to experience some lifter chatter at about 60 or 70K.

oil

How many miles between changes have most of you been going? I checked my oil at 3k and is still looked great, not dark at all. I do highway driving mostly.
