Also a good idea to inspect the filter. I’ve seen brand new filters with some nasties in the center of them.
Oil overfill ok?

I googled the white snot in new oil jugs, appears to be parrafin that dropped out of solution somehow, which was kinda my first intuition but was just a guess.
Here's a BITOG thread about it and other things:
Whale snot in fresh oil

I ended up crawling under this morning before my trip and drained the oil down a bit so I cannot testify if an extra quart will hurt or not.
Thanks for the replies anyway.

I would have just left it. Its not like you were that far above the full line to make a difference.
Also for reference the capacity of these trucks with the stock filter is 10 quarts. With the longer powerstroke filter its 11.

I dump 12 quarts in with a powerjoke filter every time never had an issue. I overfill everything just a tad when I change oil (1/4-1/2 inch) I'll bet on any given engine you'd have to overfill a few inches at least before the crank was dipping in the oil.

You should have used the 40's - 50's International tractor double petcock setup.

I had a Farmall C for a while, that's rediculous. They must have had money in the oil fields to come up with that.

Really, thinking about it, it probably doesn't waste any more oil than wiping a dipstick. But how my people are still trying to find the dipstick or something to check the oil with on the "neat old tractor they just scored for cheap"?

MAN..!! THAT IS NEAT ..!!
Very nifty !!
Did you have to remove your front driveshaft to get in there to see it..?
Do you have Mud Daubers where you live..?

The driveshaft was left out when I swapped out the transfer case. It had bad u joints and we don't use the 4wd anyway. We've got crazy amounts of mud daubers.
My fantasy bronco would have a regular twin I beam front end from a f150 and allow me to get it down a bit lower so it could be that much more sporty looking. I'm not a 4wd guy, I just like how broncos look.

I always just add 12 Qts with a powerstroke filter, what am i gonna do with 1 qt extra when I buy 3 gallons of oil... come on...
Ford used this system on the Model T. Had a long rod that would slip over the petcock lever. You did not have to get under the car that way. Maybe it was a better idea!
