Oil Change Interval
For the 2017 F-150, Ford recommends an oil change every 7,500 to 10,000 miles for normal driving conditions. However, for severe duty, the interval is shortened to 5,000 miles. Severe duty includes:
- Towing or hauling heavy loads
- Extensive idling or driving in stop-and-go traffic
- Driving in dusty or dirty conditions
- Off-roading
Drain Plug Torque
The oil drain plug should be torqued to 19 lb-ft (26 Nm). It is recommended to use a new crush washer with each oil change to prevent leaks.
How to Change the Oil
- Run the engine for a few minutes to warm the oil.
- Park on a level surface and engage the parking brake.
- Place a drain pan under the oil pan and remove the drain plug.
- Allow the oil to drain completely, then replace the drain plug and tighten to 19 lb-ft.
- Remove the old oil filter. Be prepared for some oil to spill.
- Apply a thin layer of new oil to the gasket of the new filter.
- Install the new filter and tighten until snug.
- Fill the engine with the correct amount and type of new oil.
- Start the engine and check for leaks.
- Turn off the engine and recheck the oil level, adding more if necessary.
- Reset the oil life monitor.
Common Issues / Tips
The 2.7L EcoBoost V6 uses a cartridge-style oil filter, which is different from the spin-on filters on the other engines. Be sure to have the correct filter and tools for the job. Additionally, the 2017 F-150 is equipped with an electronic oil life monitor that will alert you when it's time for an oil change. It is important to reset this monitor after each oil change.
