Spot what is wrong with this picture and the only hit I’ll give is that it has nothing to do with oil spec

Orange can of death?

I'm going to take a stab at it and say that looks like a Valvomax and perhaps you are missing either the plug or the attachment. It looks like there is only one piece in the bag.

This is actually the highest quality Orange can of death, will be switching to RP at the 10k mark.

It’s a Fumoto and you are in the correct ballpark.

Idea is you torque it in one time, subsequent oil changes involve removing a little plastic lock (it’s not necessary but easy to put on/off and free insurance) and flipping a 90* valve to let oil drain. On 5.0s I can tel this will make drains really fast and easy, would not hurt to have warm oil though if you don’t like waiting for it to drain out.

Fumoto is the brand.

Does that drain valve say m14 x 1.5? cuz it looks like the 5.0l is suppose to use a m12x1.75 plug just like the 3.5l ecoboost and probally some of the other engines too.

You win!

It's my fault, Amazon said it would fit...

Diameter X thread pitch is crazy simple, I have a BS in CS which mean I know Bull Shit in Computer Science, which requires Calculus iii, yet my dumbass was like Amazon said it will fit, SHIP IT!!!

I sent you a PM

You forgot a huge number of rags or paper towels to clean up oil splashing everywhere. And a tarp to cover the cement. Maybe everyone doesn't let the drain plug fall in the drain pan hole, clogging the hole, so the oil overflows, and you have to reach in with your hand to fish it out.
