Compiled & reviewed by Nikolai Tsyrenov · Updated 2026-07-18
When to change the oil on a 2018-2024 (3.5L twin-turbo EcoBoost) Ford Expedition, and what oil it takes.
| Oil change interval | Oil-Life Monitor, ~7,500-10,000 mi; towing sooner |
|---|---|
| Engine / oil | 3.5L twin-turbo V6 EcoBoost; 5W-30 synthetic; 10-speed auto |
| Oil filter | Replace with every oil change |
Ford Expedition note: A big twin-turbo tow rig — towing firmly puts it on the severe schedule: drop transmission fluid to ~60k, service the rear axle, and don't stretch the EcoBoost plugs.
