If you've forgotten which oil to use in your Ford F-150 5.0, I can assist you. The recommended oil for the 2011 Ford F-150 5.0 L is SAE 5W-20. When purchasing oil, look for an API-certified label to ensure you're getting the right product. Engine oil is crucial for extending the life of your engine. To maintain a healthy motor, check the oil level weekly. Daily usage increases oil consumption, so you may need to top it off more frequently.
The Ford F-150 with a 5.0L engine requires 7.7 quarts of oil for proper lubrication.
Can any F-150 with a 5.0 engine use 7.7 liters of 5w-20 oil up to 2018 and then switch to 8.8 liters? The real question is whether Ford made a change in 2021.
In 2018, the 5.0 engines require 8.8 quarts of oil.
Absolutely 8.8 quarts, without a doubt.
7.7 quarts of oil only fills the dipstick up to the minimum mark.
In 2019, you'll need 8.8 quarts of Motorcraft synthetic blend 5W20 oil for your V8 engine when you do an oil change, including replacing the filter.
