The recommended oil type and capacity for a 2007 Ford F-150 is 5w20 and 6 quarts. It's important to schedule oil changes regularly, typically every 5,000 to 10,000 miles. Neglecting to change the oil can lead to engine issues, so using high-quality oil is crucial for optimal engine performance. If you notice a strong burning smell, it's a sign that the oil may be deteriorating, and immediate attention is necessary to prevent any potential hazards. Over time, old or low-quality oil can cause the engine to malfunction, resulting in symptoms like engine knocking noise and decreased fuel efficiency.
In 2007, the Ford F-150 offers four engine options: the 4.2L V6, the 4.6L V8, the 5.4L V8 (non-Flex), and the 5.4L V8 (Flex). All four engines require 5W20 synthetic oil. The oil capacity for each engine is as follows: the 4.2L V6 holds 6 quarts, the 4.6L V8 needs 6 quarts, and both versions of the 5.4L V8 require 7 quarts.
The performance of the truck improves with the use of 5w30 oil.
