• 6.2L V8 Gasoline: The drain plug torque for the 6.2L V8 gasoline engine is 19 lb-ft (25 Nm). A new crush washer is recommended with each oil change.

How to Change the Oil

Here's a general guide for changing the oil on a 2017 Ford F-250 Super Duty. Always follow proper safety procedures and consult your service manual.

1. Gather Supplies: Ensure you have the correct oil, oil filter, drain pan, wrench (for drain plug and filter), torque wrench, and safety glasses.
2. Warm the Engine: Drive the truck for a few minutes to warm the oil, allowing it to drain more easily.
3. Lift and Secure: Safely lift the front of the vehicle using a jack and secure it with jack stands. Never work under a vehicle supported only by a jack.
4. Locate Drain Plug: Place your drain pan beneath the oil pan drain plug.
5. Drain Oil: Carefully remove the drain plug and allow all the old oil to drain completely. Replace the crush washer or O-ring.
6. Replace Drain Plug: Reinstall the drain plug and torque it to the manufacturer's specifications.
7. Remove Oil Filter: Locate the oil filter. Place the drain pan underneath it, as some oil will spill. Use an oil filter wrench to remove the old filter.
8. Prepare New Filter: Apply a thin film of new oil to the gasket of the new oil filter.
9. Install New Filter: Hand-tighten the new oil filter until the gasket makes contact, then tighten an additional 3/4 to 1 full turn. Do not overtighten.
10. Add New Oil: Carefully pour the recommended amount and type of new oil into the engine's fill port.
11. Check Level: Start the engine and let it run for a minute to circulate the oil. Turn off the engine, wait a few minutes, then check the oil level using the dipstick. Add more oil if necessary.
12. Inspect for Leaks: Check for any leaks around the drain plug and oil filter.
13. Dispose of Old Oil: Properly dispose of the used oil and filter at an authorized recycling center.

Common Issues / Tips

• 6.7L Power Stroke Diesel Fuel Filter Changes: While not oil, it's critical for diesel owners to regularly change both the primary and secondary fuel filters. This is often recommended every 15,000 miles or 12 months, but consult your manual. Neglecting these can lead to costly fuel system issues.
• 6.2L V8 Spark Plugs: For the gasoline engine, spark plug replacement is typically recommended around 100,000 miles. Using quality OEM or equivalent spark plugs is crucial for optimal performance.
• Regular Fluid Checks: Beyond oil, regularly check your power steering fluid, brake fluid, coolant, and transmission fluid. These checks can help identify potential issues early.
• Tire Pressure Monitoring: For heavy-duty trucks like the F-250, maintaining correct tire pressure is vital for safety, fuel economy, and tire longevity, especially when towing or hauling.
