5.0L V8 F150 HOW MUCH OIL CAPACITY AND WHAT TYPE DOES MY 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014 5.0L V8 TAKE?

Does anyone else have a difficult time reading the dipstick on their 2011 Ford f150 5.0 V8? It's extremely difficult to reach awkward to pull out and reinsert. I get a different read each time. Sometimes it's full,then again it looks almost empty. Very frustrating! Trucks from 40 and 50 years ago were very simple to check oil level why did they have to screw it up?

Check it when it’s cold for the most accurate reading. I’ve never had difficulty with the reading, but the dipstick is in a weird spot

Yes they could have put it in a better spot or had the tube longer
