The 2011 Ford F-150 comes with a variety of engine sizes. The 3.5 liter V6 turbo engine requires 7.7 US quarts of 5W-20 oil, while the 3.7 liter V6 engine needs 6 quarts of the same oil. For the two larger engines, the 5.0 liter V8 and the 6.2 liter V8, both use 5W-20 oil as well. The 5.0 liter engine requires 7.7 quarts of oil, while the 6.2 liter engine uses 7 quarts. It is recommended to change the oil and filter every 7,500-10,000 miles or 12 months if using fully synthetic oil, and every 3,000-5,000 miles or 6 months with conventional oil. Using synthetic oil offers advantages such as improved lubrication for the engine parts, longer time between oil changes, and better performance in extreme weather conditions. A thinner oil like 5W-20 flows more smoothly in cold weather, efficiently coating engine components for improved protection against friction and corrosion.

    I have put only Mobil 1 5W30 oil in my Ecoboost 3.5 V6 engine, which has 320,000 miles on it. I am the second owner, and the previous owner also took good care of it by using only premium gasoline. The engine is running smoothly, just like a kitten!
