So, I have the vehicle listed above XLT 5.4L Triton 16V 8 cylinder.

The Troubleshooting Issues:

1 Every time the truck sits for too long it needs a jump, and the battery was replaced last year brand new

2 Will a tune up and oil change make the car run a little bit unusual then on top of it already needing the tune up and oil change

The Big Error:
I accidentally put 1 quart of transmission fluid in the oil full synthetic transmission fluid in the oil I looked it up on Google it said that's not a bad thing just put a quart on oil in with the transmission fluid and it will act as a cleaner to the engine this was about 3 weeks ago now

Ending:

So, what is my solutions to these Issues and Error?

We only handle one problem per thread. Please start new questions for the tune up and transmission fluid issues. The battery draw sounds like the A/C compressor clutch relay is stuck on. so, I would remove it to see if the drain goes away, here is the location of the relay and a guide to help you go over the easy fixes for the is as well.
