I Added .7 liters over the factory recommended 7.7 liter while changing oil on 2016 F150 5.0. Will the extra .7 L create aeration or other issues? Should I drain a little off? thank you ---

As long as the dipstick read the correct oil level, its fine. ---

Before you check the oil again, run the engine so that steady state conditions exist. Then turn the engine off and let the oil drain, and test the level. ---

If you have a spin on filter, remove, empty and re-install it. ---

If it is a 1/4 of an inch over the Full mark, don’t worry. More than that, swap the filter as others suggested. But do this first… > [@jtsanders](#): > > Before you check the oil again, run the engine so that steady state conditions exist. Then turn the engine off and let the oil drain, and test the level. A question for you… how did you get to 8.4 liters of oil? ---
