Dip stick? i have to stand on a stool to reach my '17. The '07 was right there.

275K miles? Just use the cheapest oil you can find. 2007 spec was 0W-20. I'd use 10W-30 or 40. The 20-grade was for fuel economy.

FIXED! The oil gasket was bad causing the leak. Purchased a new one from Amazon.

Thanks for the help!

This is one of my dislikes on my 2015 Expedition Limited 4x4.

I too must stand on a stool to reach the engine oil dipstick - I'm 5'10" tall.

Ford should have installed a longer engine oil dipstick tube and dipstick. When I travel, I must carry a stool so I can check the engine oil when I get gas.

The Expedition replaced a 2003 Dodge Durango with the 5.9 engine. That engine had a long oil dipstick tube and dipstick, and was easily reachable from the front (passenger side) of the vehicle without using a stool.

I don't understand when vehicles are designed, why the "highly trained" engineers and vehicle platform managers can't figure out basic stuff like this.

And checked your tire pressures while pumping your gas.

Well at least I'm consistent with what I said back in August.
