Oil Level

[whitegen]

New guy here. I have a 2012 5.0 and the owners manual says it takes 7.61 qts. I took it to the dealer for an oil change and the invoice says 6 qts. Is this right?

They could have written 1,000,000 qts you need to check the oil level when you get home. Level ground with engine off.

The owners manual will be correct, but make sure you look at the drain and fill number, and not the total capacity (some oil never gets drained out).

The manual is correct and the service advisor confirmed it when I first took mine in for the 1st oil change.
Yours might not have been completely drained out not sure because they had other cars in the waiting so it could have been a rush job as a result.

Dealer error in your favor. Collect one whole free qt of oil.

i always like chaning my own oil... i have taken my wife's car to the shop to get her c230 oil changed and they use oil that is not in spec with what the manual states. i have always changed my oil in the car and i know what i put in it. i just bought this genny and they have those filters that dont have an actual can and its just the filter. i never dealt with one like this before but im still going to change it myself...i dont trust them folks to do it, like the mech puts 6 instead of what is listed in the spec sheet... drives me crazy.
