Actually the 6.7 takes 13 quarts with filter.

This is true on 6.7 but to me its not a powerstroke cause its a Ford diesel not navistar

Powerstroke is a Ford trademark.

How sad is it that on a Powerstroke forum the word Powerstroke shows up a miss-spelling.

Nevertheless, this is the 6.4 forum and the answer is 15 quarts.

I would definitely reccomend only putting in 14 quarts AT FIRST, and THEN start it and let it run a sec.... then shut it off and let settle again before you check it. Its easier to add oil then to remove it if its over full. I did this, and mine was almost to the "MAX" line. I didnt add the last quart. I guess not all the oil gets drained out (even after letting it drain for 15 minutes).

Did you screw the filter cap off before you drained the oil?
