Since 2010, the fuel filter in the Ford F-150 has been placed inside the fuel tank and is considered a permanent component that does not require regular servicing. Although designed to last the vehicle's lifetime, these filters can still get clogged or malfunction over time due to neglect or exposure to debris, affecting driving performance. Repairing this issue can be expensive as it involves removing the entire gas tank to replace the filter. To maintain the health of your F-150, make sure to change the synthetic oil at the recommended intervals of every 7,500-10,000 miles or 12 months. Additionally, ensure that you use the correct octane level in the gas tank (regular, unleaded 87 octane) and schedule regular checkups, including emissions inspections. By sticking to a consistent maintenance routine, you can help ensure the long-term reliability of your F-150.
In a 2016 Ford F-150, you can find the fuel filter tucked away inside the fuel tank, a setup that has been the norm since the 2010 model year.
