That Factory Five thread is making me nervous now. I'm well aware of aeration which is what sparked my original concern. My dipstick goes into the block and not through the pan. I have to assume the stick is OEM since Moroso says it's what should be used. I figured they would include/sell their own stick if their pan required aftermarket. Based on that thread it seems there were problems with the OEM stick hitting the baffle which leads to an incorrect reading. Supposedly the issue was corrected by a redesign. I don't know what year that was done. My build was somewhere in the 2012 to 2013 range and not sure if I got the redesign. I don't know who to listen to now. Moroso, Ford, dipstick? Here's the link to the Moroso pan from their website with specs. The installation instructions don't seem to mention about fill levels and sticks.
