The 2001 Ford F-150 is recommended to use a Full synthetic oil with viscosity SAE 5w-20 that can be used in all weather conditions. As this truck offers various engine options, it's important to determine which engine you have to ensure the correct oil capacity. The engine options include a 4.2L V6 and a 4.6 V8, which needs 6 quarts of oil, while the 5.4 V8 Triton requires 7 quarts of oil according to the manufacturer. When replacing the oil, remember to also replace the oil filter at the same time. The price of oil may vary by brand, costing between $5 to $12 per quart. The recommended service interval for oil changes is every 3,000 to 5,000 miles or every 6-8 months, but for an older truck with high mileage, more frequent oil changes can be beneficial.
