The recommended oil for a 2009 Ford F-150 is 5W-20 with a capacity of 6 quarts. It's important to change your oil regularly, typically every 5,000 to 10,000 miles. Neglecting to do so can lead to engine problems. Using high-quality oil is essential for optimal engine performance. Issues with the oil may arise over time, such as a strong burning odor, which should be addressed promptly to prevent potential damage like engine failure or even an explosion. Poor-quality oil can also result in decreased gas mileage and potentially cause a knocking noise from the engine.
here is a rephrased version:
Using SAE 5W-20 oil in your 2009 Ford F-150 ensures the best fuel efficiency and durability. The 4.6L engine requires 6.0 quarts of oil, while the 5.4L engine needs 7.0 quarts for optimal performance.
How can you distinguish between a 4.6 and a 5.4?
In 2009, a 5.4 engine requires only 6 quarts of oil, not 7. Overfilling is just as harmful as not having enough oil, so it is important to stop advising people to use 7 quarts. The correct amount for a 5.4 engine is 6 quarts.
I disagree with all of you. Even after adding 7 quarts of oil, I still think I am missing about 1 quart.
Pop the hood. Find the decal underneath.
How about this: "Synthetic motor oil with viscosity grade 5w20.
Grade 5w30, with a capacity of 6 quarts.
