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.
Is it safe to use 10W-30 or 5W-30 oil in the 2011 5.0 V8 engine without causing any damage?
Is it advisable to use synthetic oil?
Can I safely use CASTROL EDGE EXTENDED PERFORMANCE 5W-20 oil in my 2011 F150 with an ecoboost engine?
How much oil does my Ford F-150 with a v6 engine require in quarts?
Incorrect response, the manual and cover of my 2011 F-150 state that the recommended oil is 5W-20.
I run my car on Valvoline full synthetic 5w-20 oil, using 7.7 quarts for each filter change with a Fram Ultraguard filter. Even with 203,000 miles on it, my car still runs as smoothly as when it was new!
A popular choice is Mobil 1 synthetic motor oil with a viscosity rating of 5w-20.
The 2011 Ford F-150 requires SAE 5W-30 engine oil for the 3.5L V6 EcoBoost and SAE 5W-20 for the 3.7L V6, 5.0L V8, and 6.2L V8 engines. The oil capacities are 6.0 quarts, 7.7 quarts, and 7.0 quarts respectively.
How about this: Schaeffer's motor oil with a viscosity rating of 5w-20.
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!
