A 2012 Ford F-250 pickup truck with a 6.2L V8 engine requires 5W-20 synthetic motor oil regardless of the weather conditions. The engine holds 7 US quarts of oil when the filter is installed. To change the oil yourself, you can expect to spend around $35 to $45 on oil, but if you prefer to have it done professionally, it will cost you between $120 and $140 at an oil change shop. The oil drain plug has a 16mm head size and requires 20 ft-lbs of torque to be removed.
The 6.7 requires 15w40 oil for optimal performance.
The 2012 Ford F250 6.2 is recommended to use 5w20 full synthetic oil according to the manufacturer's specifications.
