How to change the oil

Changing the oil on your 2017 Ford F-350 Super Duty (6.7L Power Stroke Diesel) is a straightforward process:

1. Warm up the engine to operating temperature, then shut it off.
2. Safely lift and support the front of the truck using jack stands.
3. Place a large drain pan under the oil pan.
4. Locate and remove the oil drain plug (on the passenger side of the oil pan) with a 15mm wrench or socket.
5. Allow all the old oil to drain completely. This can take several minutes due to the large capacity.
6. Replace the drain plug with a new crush washer and tighten to 35 lb-ft (47 Nm).
7. Remove the old oil filter. The canister-style filter is located on top of the engine towards the front. Use an appropriate oil filter wrench.
8. Lubricate the O-rings of the new filter with a small amount of fresh oil.
9. Install the new oil filter, tightening it by hand until snug, then an additional 1/2 to 3/4 turn. Do not overtighten.
10. Fill the engine with 13 quarts of the recommended 10W-30 API CK-4 or CJ-4 engine oil.
11. Start the engine and let it run for a few minutes to circulate the new oil. Check for any leaks.
12. Shut off the engine, wait a few minutes for the oil to settle, and then check the oil level on the dipstick. Add more oil if necessary.
13. Properly dispose of the used oil and filter.

Common issues / tips

• 6.7L Power Stroke Diesel Specifics: The 6.7L Power Stroke is known for its robust performance. Using the correct API CK-4 or CJ-4 spec oil is crucial for the longevity of the emissions systems (DPF, SCR).
• Oil Level Sensor: Some owners have reported issues with the oil level sensor. Always rely on the dipstick for an accurate reading.
• Fuel Filter Maintenance: The 6.7L Power Stroke also has a fuel filter change interval that often coincides with oil changes. Consider replacing your fuel filters at the same time.
• Aftermarket Filters: While the provided aftermarket cross-references are popular, always verify fitment with your chosen brand. Generic filters may not meet Ford's specifications.
• Cold Weather Operation: In extremely cold climates, 5W-40 API CK-4 oil may be considered for easier cold starting, but consult your owner's manual or a Ford dealer for specific recommendations.
