Drain plug torque

The oil drain plug for the 2025 Ford F-350 Super Duty 6.7L Power Stroke engine should be torqued to 20-22 ft-lbs (27-30 Nm). Always use a new drain plug gasket or crush washer to ensure a proper seal and prevent leaks. For the 7.3L Godzilla gas engine, consult your dealer or owner's manual for the specific torque value and crush washer information.

How to change the oil

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 Up Engine: Drive the truck for a few minutes to bring the oil to operating temperature, which helps it drain more easily.
3. Lift Vehicle & Secure: Safely lift the front of the truck using a jack and secure it with jack stands. Never work under a vehicle supported only by a jack.
4. Locate & Drain: Place the drain pan under the oil pan. Locate the oil drain plug, remove it carefully (it may be hot), and allow all the old oil to drain completely.
5. Replace Filter: While the oil is draining, locate and remove the old oil filter. Apply a thin layer of new oil to the gasket of the new filter before installing it. Hand-tighten the new filter until snug, then turn an additional 3/4 to 1 full turn.
6. Reinstall Drain Plug: Once all oil has drained, reinstall the drain plug with a new gasket/crush washer and tighten it to the specified torque.
7. Refill Oil: Lower the vehicle. Remove the oil filler cap and add the recommended amount of new oil.
8. Check Level: Start the engine and let it run for a minute to circulate the new oil. Shut off the engine, wait a few minutes, and then check the oil level on the dipstick. Add more oil if necessary, being careful not to overfill.
9. Inspect for Leaks: Check around the drain plug and oil filter for any signs of leaks.

Common issues / tips

• Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) Health: Using the correct oil specification (WSS-M2C171-F1) is crucial for the longevity of the DPF system in the 6.7L Power Stroke. Incorrect oil can lead to premature DPF clogging and costly repairs.
• Oil Cooler Maintenance: The 6.7L Power Stroke has an oil cooler. While not a common issue with new trucks, ensure your a reputable shop uses OEM or high-quality aftermarket parts for any related service to prevent future problems.
• Frequent Checks: Especially with a hard-working truck like the F-350, regularly check the oil level between changes, especially before and after towing heavy loads.
• Record Keeping: Keep detailed records of your oil changes, including mileage, date, and type of oil used. This is essential for warranty purposes and resale value.
