2.5L oil capacity

[Toymaster]

Just throwing this out there. It seems if you use a larger oil filter 6 qts is what it takes.

The manual calls for 5.7qts and the FL-910-S filter. I used a longer filter and it took all 6 qts, which I like better. I have another vehicle that uses a filter with the same thread pitch and diameter, just longer filter.

Not sure if this is a big issue or not but the difference between the two filters is the bypass pressure. The smaller one bypasses at 14, the larger at 20.
I am opting for a stronger oil. Schaeffer makes a fantastic 0W-20 that I will go to after initial break in, starting at 500 miles.

My next Oil Change I want to do the same thing.
What size/number filter did you use?

I'm using a PurolaterONE that bypasses at 12-15 PSI. That said I change my oil and filter so often the filter never gets a chance to go to full resistance/filtration.

Mine came with the short H6BG-6714-BA filter. But the FL910S and the 10241 are the same size so, not really sure why they have 5.7qts in the manual. The H6BG-6714-BA is listed as a 'break-in" filter but have seen a few reports of dealers using the same filter on an oil change. I requested to my oil to be changed before I even saw the truck not sure if the dealer did or not.

Is PurolatorONE 10241 a little longer and allows you to use six full quarts?

Purolator one 10241 is a little longer and allows you to use six full quarts?

Unless my engine is using oil, yes. I have 6 quarts in it with the 10241 and still within the hash marks of the dipstick.

Next time I change my oil, next weekend or the one after, I'll double check the level immediately after the change.

I was wondering.
I changed my oil last week. I used Mobile 1 and a Motorcraft FL 910 S

* I filled with the recommended amount 5.7 quarts and it was a little short.
I dumped the remainder of the quart in to equal a full 6 quarts.
And that brought the oil level up perfectly.
Dipstick reading taken with a cold engine. Truck has been setting for 24 hours since it last ran.
I know it's a little hard to see.

* I understand anywhere within the hash marks is okay for oil level

......I dumped the remainder of the quart in to equal a full 6 quarts...........

Even if the 5.7 was right at the hash marks adding .3 quarts is not enough to hurt anything. I would not want to add 2-3 quarts more but cup more ain't going to hurt anything. I have no idea why they put 5.7 in the OM, although the way they put in just enough other fluids to do the job may be the reason. I'll be going with 6qts from now on and putting a spare quart under the back seat just in case.

The bypass pressure is one of the most important specs to know if you're planning on using a different filter than the stock one for higher capacity. ALWAYS match that number to the original or as close as possible.

In the case of the Ford FL910s, a suitable oversized replacement would be the FL400s. It has the same bypass pressure rating as the FL910s.

My 2025 calls for six quarts in the manual.

You have the 2.0EB, we are talking the 2.5.

NO I have The 2.5 EB

NO I have The 2.5 EB

Ford does not make a 2.5 ecoboost, and your profile says 2.0 ecoboost. That said the owners manual is for both drivetrains and you have make sure you are in the correct section. The 2.0 does take 6qt, the 2.5 liter states 5.7qt.

I use the Fram Ultra Synthetic XG8A. It's quite larger than the standard filter but still fits fine. Rated as the best filtration and 20,000 mile but I still replace at 5,000 miles.
