The 2012 Ford F-150 requires 7.7 quarts of SAE 5W-20 oil for an oil change, and Ford recommends using full synthetic oil. Nowadays, there are two main types of oil available: synthetic and conventional. Synthetic oil is specifically designed in a laboratory to provide superior protection and longevity compared to the traditional petroleum-based conventional oil. This means you may only need to change synthetic oil every 7,500 miles, as opposed to every 3,500 to 5,000 miles for conventional oil. To ensure your engine's health in the long term, it's important to check the oil at least once a month to confirm it is clean and free from debris or damage.

Make sure to use the oils approved for gasoline engines as outlined by Ford for the 2012 F-150. For engines like the 3.7L V6, 5.0L V8, and 6.2L V8, opt for SAE 5W-20 oil, SAE 5W-30, or an equivalent SAE 5W-30 oil. Ensure the proper amount of oil is used based on the engine size - 6.0 quarts for a 3.7L engine, 7.7 quarts for a 5.0L engine, and 7.0 quarts for a 6.2L engine.
