How often should I change oil in my F150?
How often do you need an oil change in the Ford F-150
The name of the game with any vehicle is smart preventative oil service maintenance. We’ve all heard of someone ruining their engine by not taking care of the oil, and at D’Orazio Ford, we’ve certainly seen their consequences: Either the driver runs out of oil and their engine locks up, or they don’t change the oil frequently enough, and that thick, polluted oil causes their vehicle to be sluggish- costing them more at the gas pump and more in future maintenance bills. Luckily , with our state of the art service center at D’Orazio Ford, oil changes are easy, affordable, and offer multipoint services to keep your F-150 at peak performance!
Change by mileage or by date?
How often you get an oil change for your truck depends on a few things: If your F-150 is 2008 or newer, Ford recommends getting an oil change every 7,500 miles or every six months, whichever comes first. If your F-150 is a 2007 or older model, the recommendation changes to every 5,000 miles or 6 months, whichever comes first.
Because the Ford F-150 is a high-performance truck, there are a few other factors to consider that can affect how often you get an oil change: Consider where you drive: are you off-roading, hitting rugged or challenging terrain? If so, how frequently? Are you using your F-150 for towing? Because the weight of loads affects how your engine needs to perform, and that could affect how often you need an oil change too.
These are all great questions to ask our certified F150 service technicians at D’Orazio Ford, who can advise you on how often you need to bring in your F-150 for an oil change, or when we need to schedule our mobile oil change service to come to you. And of course, always pay attention to the oil-monitor message on your dashboard.
