Factory oil specification for the 2020–2025 Ford F-150.
Oil grade depends on the engine: EcoBoost V6 engines use 5W-30, while the 5.0L V8 uses 5W-20 — check the oil cap. Ford's oil-life monitor tracks oil condition; follow it or change the oil every 7,500 to 10,000 miles.
The first number (0W or 5W) is how the oil flows when cold — lower is better for cold starts. The second number (20 or 30) is how thick it stays when the engine is hot. "Full synthetic" is made in a lab, not refined from crude, so it lasts longer and protects better at high temperatures. Always use the viscosity your manual calls for — thicker is not better.
Change the oil at the interval above, or once a year if you drive less. If you tow, drive in extreme heat, or do lots of short trips, change it sooner.
