Ford Bronco Oil Change Interval & Oil Type
Compiled & reviewed by Nikolai Tsyrenov · Updated 2026-07-18
When to change the oil on a 2021-2024 (2.3L / 2.7L EcoBoost) Ford Bronco, and what oil it takes.
| Oil change interval | Oil-Life Monitor, ~7,500 mi; off-road/dusty sooner |
|---|---|
| Engine / oil | 2.3L EcoBoost or 2.7L twin-turbo V6; 5W-30 synthetic; 10-speed auto or 7-speed manual |
| Oil filter | Replace with every oil change |
Ford Bronco note: Off-road use is the differentiator: check and change axle, differential and transfer-case fluids after deep water or hard trail use, and the air filter clogs fast in sand/dust — far more than the engine itself needs.
