★ Top Answer
The Ford F-150 from 2004 requires SAE 5w-20 oil and the 4.2-liter engine holds 6 quarts of oil. Oil is crucial for lubricating engine parts, protecting the emission system, and improving fuel efficiency. The estimated cost for an oil change on your F-150 ranges from $50 to $60 for labor and $90 to $100 for parts. It's recommended to have an oil change every 7,500 to 10,000 miles. You should consider an oil change if you observe increased engine noise, vibrations at idle, excessive exhaust, an oil odor in the cabin, or if the Check Engine or Oil Change indicators illuminate.

For the 2004 Ford F-150, the 4.2L V6 (base), 4.6L V8, and three variations of the 5.4L V8 all use 6 quarts of 5W20 synthetic oil. However, the 5.4L V8 with engine code 5 needs 7 quarts of 5W30 oil.

You are advised to use 7 quarts of 5-20 oil as specified. However, if you have the 5.4 3v engine, it is recommended to add a pint of Marvel Mystery Oil, along with 5-30 oil for the remaining amount. Personally, I have been using Motorcraft Synthetic Blend every 5,000 miles.
