Capacity by Engine Option

Oil Change Interval

Maintaining the correct oil change interval is crucial for the longevity of your 2019 F-250 Super Duty engine.

• Normal Duty: For most driving conditions, Ford recommends an oil change every 7,500 to 10,000 miles or 6 to 12 months, whichever comes first.
• Severe Duty: If you operate your F-250 under severe conditions, such as frequent towing/hauling, extensive idling, off-road use, or extreme temperatures, the oil change interval should be shortened to 5,000 miles or 6 months, whichever comes first. This applies especially to the 6.7L Power Stroke diesel, where fuel dilution and soot loading can degrade oil more quickly.

Always consult your owner's manual for the most accurate and up-to-date information regarding your specific vehicle's oil change recommendations.

Drain Plug Torque

Properly torquing the drain plug is essential to prevent leaks and avoid damaging the oil pan threads. Always use a new crush washer with each oil change.

• 6.2L V8 Gasoline Engine:

  • Drain Plug Torque: 19 lb-ft (25 Nm)
  • Crush Washer: Typically a M14-1.50 aluminum crush washer.

• 6.7L Power Stroke V8 Turbo Diesel Engine:

  • Drain Plug Torque: 35 lb-ft (47 Nm)
  • Crush Washer: Typically an M12-1.75 copper or aluminum crush washer.

How to Change the Oil (General Steps)

1. Gather Supplies: New oil, oil filter, drain pan, wrench for drain plug, oil filter wrench, funnel, rags, jack and jack stands (if needed), personal protective equipment (gloves, eye protection).
2. Warm Up Engine (Slightly): Run the engine for a few minutes to bring the oil to operating temperature, which helps it drain more easily. Do not make it too hot to handle.
3. Lift and Secure Vehicle: Safely lift the front of the truck using a jack and support it with jack stands. Ensure the vehicle is stable and level.
4. Locate and Drain Oil: Place the drain pan under the drain plug, then carefully remove the drain plug with the appropriate wrench. Allow all the oil to drain completely.
5. Replace Drain Plug: Install a new crush washer on the drain plug and reinstall it into the oil pan. Torque to the specified value.
6. Remove Old Oil Filter: Place the drain pan under the oil filter. Loosen and remove the old oil filter using an oil filter wrench. Be prepared for some oil to spill.
7. Prepare and Install New Oil Filter: Apply a thin film of new oil to the gasket of the new oil filter. Screw on the new oil filter by hand until snug, then turn an additional 3/4 to 1 full turn. Do not overtighten.
8. Add New Oil: Using a funnel, add the recommended amount of new engine oil to the engine through the oil fill cap.
9. Check Oil Level: Start the engine and let it run for a minute to circulate the oil. Turn off the engine, wait a few minutes for the oil to settle, then check the oil level with the dipstick. Add more oil if necessary until it reaches the "FULL" mark.
10. Inspect for Leaks: Check the drain plug and oil filter for any signs of leaks.
11. Dispose of Old Oil: Properly dispose of used oil at a recycling center.
