★ Top Answer
The 2018 Ford F-150 3.0 Diesel requires SAE 5w-30 full synthetic oil with a 6.5-quart capacity. This oil helps keep your engine well-lubricated, removes impurities like dirt and sludge, and ensures your vehicle runs smoothly. The cost of an oil change for your F-150 ranges from $50 to $60 for labor and $90 to $100 for parts. It is recommended to get an oil change every 3,000 to 5,000 miles or every 6 months, whichever occurs first. Signs that your vehicle needs an oil change include engine ticking, transmission issues, idle shaking, exhaust smoke, decreased fuel efficiency, and if the Check Engine or Oil Change warning lights are on.
