FYI the oil pan in the duratecs is about 3/4 quart too small for the motor because so much oil stays up in the cams area- gets too much air in it and then when you need it its still up there trying to get back to the oil pickup -
so run a 1/2 quart high and it should be ok.
Me like what me hear. I've been running six myself, since 6.5qts sounds a little high IMO, but this definitely sounds like a cheap, good precaution for those who like to hang those righthand corners tight!
