Ford Ranger Oil Change Interval & Oil Type
Compiled & reviewed by Nikolai Tsyrenov · Updated 2026-06-25
When to change the oil on a 2024-2025 (6th gen, P703) Ford Ranger, and what oil it takes.
| Oil change interval | 7,500-10,000 mi / 12 mo via Oil-Life Monitor; severe ~5,000 mi |
|---|---|
| Engine / oil | 2.3L EcoBoost turbo-4 or 2.7L EcoBoost twin-turbo V6 (Raptor); both 5W-30 full synthetic; 10-speed auto |
| Oil filter | Replace with every oil change |
Ford Ranger note: Body-on-frame truck: if you tow, off-road or run dusty roads, follow the SEVERE schedule — it pulls oil and air-filter intervals in sharply. The Raptor's 2.7L V6 uses the same fluids as the 2.3L.
