Oil Change Interval
For the 2022 F-150, Ford recommends following the Intelligent Oil-Life Monitor (IOLM) system, which will alert you when an oil change is due. However, if you are operating under severe conditions, it is wise to change the oil more frequently.
- Normal Duty: Follow the IOLM, typically 7,500-10,000 miles.
- Severe Duty: Every 5,000 miles. Severe duty includes frequent towing, extensive idling, or driving in extremely dusty or dirty conditions.
Drain Plug Torque
- Drain Plug Torque: 19 lb-ft (26 Nm)
- Crush Washer: It is always recommended to replace the crush washer with a new one to prevent leaks. If a new one is not available, you may be able to reuse the old one, but it is not ideal.
How to Change the Oil
- Warm up the engine for 2-3 minutes to get the oil flowing.
- Remove the drain plug and let the old oil drain into a pan.
- Remove the old oil filter. Be prepared for some oil to spill.
- Install the new filter, after applying a light coat of new oil to the gasket.
- Re-install the drain plug with a new crush washer and torque to 19 lb-ft.
- Fill with the correct amount of new oil.
- Start the engine, let it run for a minute, then turn it off and check the oil level, topping off as needed.
Common Issues / Tips
For this generation of F-150, it's crucial to use the exact oil viscosity and specification recommended by Ford. The EcoBoost engines, in particular, are sensitive to oil quality. Using the wrong oil can lead to timing chain and phaser issues down the road. Also, be aware that some early-build 2022 models were part of a recall for the engine oil pan. Consult your dealer with your VIN to see if your truck is affected.
