RE: Low Oil Light Help
The 4.6's take 6 quarts...trust me. Check your capacities in your owners manual. The filters on our cars take almost a quart by themselves...so yes you are technically low on oil. Interestingly i saw a write up on drag cars here a while back that stated they actually see fractionally better times with running it low on oil, or by using a dry sump because of less drag on the crank...makes sense.
