Compiled & reviewed by Nikolai Tsyrenov · Updated 2026-07-18
When to change the oil on a 2021-2024 (14th gen) Ford F-150, and what oil it takes.
| Oil change interval | Intelligent Oil-Life Monitor, typically ~7,500-10,000 mi; severe/towing sooner |
|---|---|
| Engine / oil | 2.7L/3.5L EcoBoost V6, 5.0L V8 or 3.5L PowerBoost hybrid; 10-speed auto |
| Oil filter | Replace with every oil change |
Ford F-150 note: Towing/heavy hauling pushes you firmly onto the severe schedule — especially transmission fluid (drop to ~60k) and rear axle fluid. EcoBoost engines benefit from earlier plugs.
