GEN 2 2019 Oil Dip Stick Readings

[ddpt]

Trying to figure out if the truck is consuming oil by checking oil level via dipstick.

The dipstick shows a "streak" of oil across min/max value but I am use to seeing a solid coating vs a streak between the min/max when changing oil on my other non-Ford vehicles.

Does this read as normal oil levels or should the dipstick be coated entirely between the min/max markings on the dipstick?

Thanks

That's odd. Is it hot or cold?

Sometimes it takes 2 or 3 tries to get a good reading.

Trust me, I've tried about 6-7x w/basically same result

Mine is the same way. It's almost like Ford doesn't really want us to know how much oil is in the truck.

The oil gauge inside the truck reads a little over the halfway point
