Ford F-250 Super Duty Oil Change Interval & Oil Type
Compiled & reviewed by Nikolai Tsyrenov · Updated 2026-07-11
When to change the oil on a 2020-2025 Ford F-250 Super Duty, and what oil it takes.
| Oil change interval | Intelligent Oil-Life Monitor: ~7,500-10,000 mi / 12 mo normal; ~5,000 mi / 6 mo (or shorter) severe/towing |
|---|---|
| Engine / oil | 7.3L 'Godzilla' V8 gas (primary) or 6.7L Power Stroke turbo-diesel; 5W-30 (gas); TorqShift 10-speed auto |
| Oil filter | Replace with every oil change |
Ford F-250 Super Duty note: The 7.3L 'Godzilla' gas V8 is the primary engine; the 6.7L Power Stroke turbo-diesel differs sharply — far larger oil capacity, a fuel/water separator, and diesel fuel filters on their own (~every 20,000 mi) schedule. As a work truck, frequent towing/hauling pushes oil, transmission and coolant to the severe-service intervals — document service by duty, not just mileage.
