How many can confirm that Ford service and others like Jiffy Lube are allowing the full 15 minutes for the oil to drain when changing the oil? Some oil change places still advertise 10 minute oil changes.

 

Really? You want every last drop of oil that has all of 5k miles on it and hasn't even come close to breaking down yet gone huh? They make money off of rotation and getting that rack ready for the next paying customer, not by making sure they wait to get the last 2 oz of your perfectly fine oil out to pump in more perfectly fine oil.

 

Well, we know Bob does not! Like the sign says, you can have it done quick, or you can have it done right, but you can't have both. If it's a concern, don't go to a "Quick" place. They make bucks on quick turnarounds and aren't likely to wait until every last drop has drained.

 

I don't think it's necessarily a matter of draining every last drop of oil. Rather checking the fluid level after an oil change to make sure it has been filled to the correct level. See attached SSM:

SSM 46172 - 2015-2017 F-150/2016 MKX/2015 Edge/2017 Fusion/MKZ/Continental - 2.7L/3.0L - Appear To Have Low Oil Level

Some 2015-2017 F-150, 2016 MKX, 2015 Edge, 2017 Fusion, MKZ And Continental vehicles equipped with a 2.7L/3.0L engine may appear to have low engine oil level if the proper procedures are not followed. Refer to the Owners Guide, Maintenance, Engine oil check section. When checking the engine oil level after shutting off the engine wait at least 15 minutes prior to checking in order to allow the oil to drain back to the oil pan. The engine oil level can be checked immediately if the engine has not been started. When changing the engine oil the engine needs to be at normal operating temperature and the oil filter removed before draining the oil. Allow the oil pan to drain completely for up to 5 minutes. Check oil level after filling by following the oil level check procedure

 

Bob you need to read the TSB....

 

Happy New Year!

 

If you think any quick change oil place is going to follow this procedure you are nuts! They are all about turn & burn and nothing else. I know I do it right every time and that's why I have been doing it myself for over 40 years.

 

No I don't think they do and more importantly I'm not nuts thank you very much. Just sharing information.

 

My local dealer does oil changes perfectly. However, I drop it off and pick it up later. That way they aren't rushed and can take their time

 

Wasn't posting specifically to you but rather the forum in general. 👍
