You can spot multiple generations of the Ford F-150 out on New York, NY roads, and if you want your new F-150 to last just as long, one of the best ways you can care for it is with proper oil changes. When you trust United Ford for your truck’s oil changes, you can rest assured that the correct Ford F-150 oil filter and oil grade are being used! What is the recommended Ford F-150 oil type? Learn more with us below.
What is the Recommended Ford F-150 Oil Type?
While several Ford F-150 engine options are available on new and pre-owned models, many have the same recommended Ford F-150 oil types. When buying engine oil for your next Ford F-150 oil change, you’ll likely need either SAE 5W-30 or SAE 0W-30 full synthetic oil, with the latter used mostly in colder climates. That said, always check your owner’s manual or talk to the experts in our parts department for more information on your specific make and model before purchasing your Ford F-150 oil filter and oil replacement.
Synthetic vs. Conventional Oil
While shopping for your Ford F-150 oil, you’ll notice two types of oil on the North Bergen market: Synthetic and conventional. While both are used to lubricate vehicle engines, the differences between synthetic and conventional oil are significant. See why Ford recommends pure synthetic oil for your F-150 below:
- Conventional Oil: Conventional, or “regular” oil, is distilled from crude oil mined from the ground and has been used in vehicle engines for decades. This type of oil is designed to protect your vehicle’s engine from excessive wear and high temperatures and tends to be cheaper than synthetic oil.
- Synthetic Oil: Synthetic oil is very similar to regular oil, but the formula has been refined to provide more stable lubrication properties. While more expensive due to the extra additives, synthetic oil will provide more reliable engine performance in cold temperatures, increase overall engine performance, and protect your turbocharger parts more effectively.
