1.. they did not reset the oil change computer.
2. they did not put any oil in
3. they did not put enough oil in.
4. do you have oil pressure?
5. did they change the oil filter
6. check the dipstick after it has sat overnight. If it is low speak to the service manager on the phone.

I check it just now, I checked it first yesterday, and when I looked now it’s well below the first dot, almost at tip of the dip stick.
going go up tomorrow after work to have them see it, but gotta put some oil in it tonight so nothing happens while I drive.

The tip of the stick is 2 qts low. There are still almost 7 qt of oil in the pan. No needs to panic.

I got the TSB done a couple days ago. So far everything is good, the engine and trans continue to run and shift fine. Time will tell about the consumption. I was using a quart every 1700 mi.

I mean the only way to be sure is if I watched them do it, but no one does that. I have paperwork stating they did it and amount of oil used and all, plus they have that on record.

As for driving to the dealer with low oil. Before I knew of this problem I never checked the dip stick. Never had a vehicle that used oil. So at some point I changed the oil myself. Found only 3 qts drained out. So if your just one or two qts low I wouldn't worry. It's better they see the low level. Maybe this explains why the 5.0 has such a big oil pan.

When I bought this thing in October I was so excited to own it and have been doing upgrades and planning future mods like crazy. Now I wish I never bought it and when I look at it I'm no longer excited for what I'm going to do next. All I keep thinking about is
Remove Cab & Replace entire long block
Replace entire dash board for warping
Remove every door panel for frozen door handle recall..
So EVERY part of my truck may need to be taken apart before the first oil change...…….. I'm so Pissed!!!!!

FYI, I had the entire dashboard removed from 2 different vehicles (not Fords) to repair air conditioning problems. You couldn't tell afterward.
