Ford Maverick Oil Change Interval & Oil Type
Compiled & reviewed by Nikolai Tsyrenov · Updated 2026-06-25
When to change the oil on a 2022-2025 (1st gen, C2 platform) Ford Maverick, and what oil it takes.
| Oil change interval | 7,500-10,000 mi / 12 mo via Oil-Life Monitor; severe (towing, dusty, idling) ~5,000 mi |
|---|---|
| Engine / oil | 2.5L Atkinson hybrid (0W-20, FWD-only) or 2.0L EcoBoost turbo (5W-30, adds AWD); 8-speed auto or hybrid eCVT |
| Oil filter | Replace with every oil change |
Ford Maverick note: The 2.5L hybrid is the volume engine and FWD-only through 2024 — AWD requires the 2.0L EcoBoost. The hybrid uses a planetary eCVT (not a belt CVT), so there are no CVT-belt worries despite the 'CVT' label.
