Oil Change Interval

For all 2022 F-250 engines, the oil change interval is determined by the onboard Intelligent Oil-Life Monitor (IOLM). The system will display a message in the instrument cluster when it's time for service. However, Ford provides the following maximum recommended intervals:

• Normal Duty: 7,500–10,000 miles or once a year. This applies to typical daily driving with light to moderate loads.
• Severe Duty: 5,000 miles or every six months. Severe duty includes frequent towing, extensive idling, driving in dusty or off-road conditions, or using B20 biodiesel in the 6.7L Power Stroke.

Drain Plug Torque

• 6.2L & 7.3L V8 (Gas): 19 lb-ft (26 Nm). These engines use a reusable, green O-ring on the drain plug. Inspect the O-ring for damage and replace if necessary (Ford Part # F75Z-6734-BA).
• 6.7L Power Stroke (Diesel): 19 lb-ft (26 Nm). The diesel models feature a composite oil pan with a unique quarter-turn drain plug. No crush washer is required.

How to Change the Oil

1. Run the engine for a few minutes to warm the oil.
2. Place a drain pan under the oil pan and remove the drain plug.
3. While the oil drains, position another pan under the oil filter and remove it. The filter is located on the front, lower passenger side of the engine.
4. Clean the filter mating surface and lightly lubricate the gasket of the new filter with fresh oil.
5. Install the new filter and tighten it three-quarters to one full turn after the gasket makes contact.
6. Reinstall the drain plug and torque it to spec.
7. Fill the engine with the correct amount and type of oil.
8. Start the engine, let it run for 30 seconds, shut it off, and re-check the oil level, topping off as needed.
9. Reset the Oil-Life Monitor through the instrument cluster menu.

Common Issues / Tips

• 6.7L Composite Oil Pan: The composite oil pan on the Power Stroke diesel is lightweight but can be susceptible to cracking if over-torqued or impacted. Be gentle with the quarter-turn drain plug. A replacement pan is a costly repair.
• Accessing the Oil Filter: On all models, especially 4x4 trucks, the oil filter is high up and can be difficult to reach without a good filter wrench. A cap-style wrench or claw-type wrench is recommended.
• Intelligent Oil-Life Monitor (IOLM): Do not solely rely on mileage for your oil change interval. The IOLM accounts for engine load, temperature, and idle time to provide a more accurate service reminder. Trust the dash message.
