My “11 5.0 started bogging down about 10k miles ago. Couldn’t pass anyone on the highway. Had low oil light come on a couple times. Thought it was serious and took it in to dealer. All they did was change the oil and said I only had 2 qts come out. I always change my oil on time and I have no stains on my driveway. I was pretty surprised but that fixed my bogging issue. Yesterday started bogging again so I went in for an oil change and it’s fine again. No stains on driveway again so I dunno where it’s going either but it didn’t start this bogging thing until about 120k miles.

I also had the bogging. Only noticed it going up hills. Guess because the low level in the pan would be at an angle. When I changed the oil I only got 3 qts out. Now I check oil level monthly and add a qt about every 1k miles. No longer get the bogging. But now I get the beer cans in the blender sound when going up inclines at the right speed. There's also a few other threads on this subject. This one bugs me even more then the oil issue.

I didn't notice the driver changing anything they were doing, and it just stopped as quick as it started.
It's almost like a timing chain sound, only really bad, no one ever been able to trace it yet?

I have no answers. I only get it going up an incline doing about 50mph. You also need pressure on the gas peddle. The second you let up on the gas it goes away. If your on level ground you can give all the gas in the world and it's not there. Really strange. But others have it so it's not unique to me. BTW, that's not my video, it's just that it's exactly what I get. Just started within the last 5k miles .
