Mine also had some water in it, white milky.

Yep, me too. You can kinda see it in the pic.

Ok this is scary 1100 miles any thoughts ? Not even in the hash Mark's! I just put oil in it and will monitor closely I have no oil leaks so could it just be low from the factory ? Why didnt the dealer check ? Lot of questions in my mind on this one hope just low from the factory maybe there trying to save money keeping oil low ?

I checked mine when it was new and it was only at half full with the factory fill so yours probably hasn't used much, I would keep a close eye on it.

Wouldn’t be surprised if Ford only filled it to the middle of the hash marks. I didn’t check but I think that my oil level was somewhere in the middle. I did add some MC 5w30 just to top up to get me to the first oil change interval.

Maybe they expect the dealer to fill the rest. You know that’s not gonna happen lol

Turbo Subes can be finicky with oil brand. For some reason, Mobil 1 burned off. Most owners had success with Motul and Amsoil.

I found that switching from 5w30 weight to 5w40 Rotella T6. I was able to run it 5k miles with very minute to no loss.

I just did my first change with Rotella T6 5w30 so hopefully my Raptor like it. I’ll run 5w30 for now while under warranty but may switch to 5w40.

I guess for 70k plus we don't get a full oil fill !

Nope. Reminds me of a large scale home builder putting one bulb in each duplex light fixture to save some $$

I guess now that I think about it I'm pretty stupid for not checking when I got the truck I remember thinking about it but probably thought its gotta be ok . well the factory and the dealer both missed it and that's pretty pathetic when you think about it. Hopefully no damage occurred from it I guess time will tell.

My very late 2018 used ~no oil over its first 5k mile interval. It's not abused, but I damn sure don't baby it.

Some of my other high performance engines have use some oil depending on how hard I'm driving them, but usually <= 1qt/3k miles, and it's been documented to be common for them on enthusiast forums. Whether or not I'd consider it acceptable for a particular engine would depend on what I read in various forums.

1qt/1k miles would have me raising hell.

As others have already pointed out - hopefully it is just a case of whomever did the oil fill-up not putting in enough. No need to really panic about engine issues until you get a chance to measure the "before" before observing the after.
