In the USA, for the 2006 Ford F-150, the recommended oil type and capacity are 5w20 and 6 quarts. It's important to change your oil regularly, ideally every 5,000 to 10,000 miles. Neglecting this maintenance can lead to engine problems. Using high-quality oil is crucial for the engine's performance. Eventually, issues with the oil may arise, such as a strong burning odor. If this occurs, it's critical to have your vehicle inspected promptly to prevent potential dangers like engine failure or even an explosion. Poor-quality oil can cause the engine to malfunction, resulting in reduced gas mileage and potential knocking noises.

I stick with using 5w-30 FULL synthetic Pennzoil Ultra in my vehicle, along with adding 4-8 ounces of Bestline or Prolong. With 160,000 miles on the odometer, I haven't experienced any issues or leaks yet. My mechanic mentioned that the engine remains very clean after changing the valve cover gasket and performing oil changes every 3-5k miles. Notably, even replacing the spark plugs was a breeze and none broke, which is a known issue for 2004-2007 F-150 trucks.
