How long is your dipstick ?

[Metalshift]

Here are some pictures of mine. This might help as a starting point to those monitoring their oil levels/volumes
properly as well as Fords quality control in manufacture of this part.

The Fuel in Oil thread is getting long winded, full of misinformation and probably doing a disservice to all us owners and Ford sales. I have yet too see one post showing 7 quarts or more being drained, measured and photographed/certified. This would show a 12% volume of fuel. The dipstick is only as good as the dipstick operating it. Read my other posts in this thread to learn proper techniques for owning this engine and how it actually functions. Boosted engines need vacuum time and the more the better. Ps- turn off your ASS.

Curious, wouldn't all dipsticks for the Ranger be the same length?

not sure that those attachments are, but they are not viewable.

Fixed and the dipsticks should register the same volume of oil in the same markings. Remember that adding a level kit changes the 6.2 quart full mark.

4” but my wife said that it doesn’t matter as long as it gets the job done

It depends on if I have recently been swimming or not. ?

Edit: I didn't mean to detract from the original post. I just could not resist making the joke.

Looking forward to it.​

Could you expand on this?​

Turbo charging an engine creates a pressurized intake system eliminating all intake manifold vacuum. This creates almost zero removal of crankcase fumes. A normally aspirated engine is almost always turning over the air inside the crankcase where as the turbo engine is only doing this when there is no boost. The more of a heavy foot - the less the engine removes.
This is why letting the engine idle down after a long drive under load is very important.
Proper warm up and idle time is this engines best friend.

No, the dipsticks driving them are subject to natural selection ...

Hi I know I made a silly joke in this thread and sorry for that. I like to joke around a lot. But this caught my eye when you mentioned the crankcase. I recently got a check engine light that referenced crankcase ventilation via my Ford Pass app. "The engine control system has detected the crankcase ventilation hose sensor is reporting a signal outside of its expected value."

So I'm curious what you think.

Curious what your background is?

My curiosity lies with the change in fluid levels after a lift. I had never thought of that, and I really hope my dealer is if this is something that changes the level indication by any great amount.
Last thing I want to do is hurt this engine unintentionally.
