VTC solenoid, or cam phaser/timing knock? over drive on off, could it be transmission?

When ever I purchase a used vehicle, I usually do 2500 miles oil change, at 2000ish miles I add either seafoam or MMO for the last 500ish miles. USUALLY, the oil is still a gold color when i add the seafoam/mmo. By oil change its black. I do that for 2 changes, then go to 5k changes on...

2013 Ford Edge 3.5 old - factory fill,filter new - MC 5-20, MC fl500 4100 on oil, OLM said 60%

So i let it sit at lunch while i was home and i checked it. it looked to be right in the middle of the 2 dots. Make me nervous since it calls for 6qts and i only put 5. I'll check over night too...but man...isn't that a big difference

My manual for my 2013 edge 3.5 says 6 quarts. I put 5 quarts in and checked the dipstick(multiple times) and it seems to read over full, but new oil is hard for me to see. Do I just put the 6 quarts in like the book says? I'm going for yes, but thought i'd ask.

Morning, Doing my first oil change, what filter should I put on her? I bought a MC, could some one confirm the number I should use? Also, the MC looks small, does size matter(ha ha)? Do bigger filters do better? Thanks, Zeus

Anyone have one? Thoughts on oil? Should I leave original oil in and change when monitor says life is low? or drive a little and put fresh oil in ASAP? I pick the car up wednesday the 2/19, so I don't have it in position yet. Thanks,
