Quarts of Oil in a 2004 5.4 ??

Hespen- Have you actually read your owners manual? And do you have a 4.6 in the '07 that your profile shows? Like Bluejay said, '04-up 5.4 3V takes 7 qts. They took 6 qts. in the 5.4 up through '03 and the '04 Heritage 2V but the 5.4 3V has always taken 7 qts. with filter change. That brings it to half way between the marks on the stick, which is where it belongs.

For 1 thing I wouldn't run a Fram filter on a goat cart much less on a truck that sold for over 30k new. You say it doesn't hold good oil pressure with the Fram. I hate to tell you this but the oil pressure gauge Ford has used for quite a while is a idiot light with a needle, meaning it does not reflect actual oil pressure. Does yours move or just stay in one spot? That is a criminal act on Ford's part I believe but they decided in their almighty wisdom some years agp that people would be happy if they thought they had good oil pressure so the put a phony gauge in that only shows if you have oil pressure or none. My oil pressure gauge stays the same if I'm idling on a hot day or running 80MPH. It's only a "feel good" gauge. If yours is actually moving (reflecting actual pressure) or running low pressure, something is strange because Ford didn't build it that way.

The TwoV's are 6 including filter. The only time you add more than 6 is if the truck has an oversized filter (after market) or the truck has a remote system that has been disassembled/reassembled. That said, the extra amount needed to bring it up half way on the stick(that's full) after reassembly doesn't even amount to a 1/2 quart. A simple two valve oil change, with remote system or without is 6 quarts.
