The recommended oil for the 2016 Ford F-150 is 5W-20 full synthetic, but the amount needed varies depending on the engine size. For the 3.5L V6, you'll need 6 US quarts of oil, and for the 5.0L V8, you'll need 8 US quarts. Prices for 5-quart containers typically range from $15 to $30. To ensure your vehicle runs smoothly and lasts a long time, it's important to keep up with regular oil changes and checks, which are simple to do. Check your oil monthly to ensure it is clear and within the "min" and "max" fill lines. If it's above the line, drain some oil, and if it's below, top it up. A complete oil change should be done every 7,500 to 10,000 miles.

Ford does not advise using full synthetic oil in the 3.5 and 5.0 liter engines. According to the Ford service at my dealership, the F-150 trucks are initially equipped with a synthetic blend by the manufacturer. It's important to note that if you have a truck under warranty and experience any engine issues, and Ford discovers that the oil used was incorrect through testing, you will be responsible for the cost of a new motor, not Ford.

The specification clearly indicates that the F-150's 5.0L V8 engine requires 8 quarts of oil.

That's incorrect. Even though my 2016 f-150 EcoBoost indicates 5w30 on the oil fill cap, I mistakenly bought 5w20 and used it for an oil and filter change today. This mix-up happened because my wife's Jeep requires 5w20 oil, causing some confusion during the purchase.
