| Engine | Oil capacity (with filter) | Oil type | Ford specification |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2.7L EcoBoost V6 | 6.0 qt (5.7 L) | 5W-30 | WSS-M2C961-A1 |
| 3.5L EcoBoost V6 | 6.0 qt (5.7 L) | 5W-30 | WSS-M2C961-A1 |
| 3.5L PowerBoost hybrid (HEV) | 6.0 qt (5.7 L) | 5W-30 | WSS-M2C961-A1 |
| 3.3L V6 (2021–2023) | 6.0 qt (5.7 L) | 5W-20 | WSS-M2C960-A1 |
| 5.0L V8 | 7.75 qt (7.33 L) | 5W-30 | WSS-M2C961-A1 |
| 3.0L Power Stroke diesel (2021) | 6.5 qt (6.15 L) | 5W-30 diesel oil | WSS-M2C214-B1 |
| 5.2L supercharged V8 (Raptor R, 2023–2025) | 11.5 qt (10.88 L) | 5W-50 full synthetic | WSS-M2C931-C (2023), WSS-M2C931-E1 (2024) |
The 5.0L V8 switched to 5W-30. Through 2020 Ford specified 5W-20 for the 5.0L; the 2021–2025 manuals list SAE 5W-30 and a capacity of 7.75 qt (7.33 L). Do not reuse an old 5W-20 recommendation on a 2021+ truck.

Recommended oil type
2.7L, 3.5L EcoBoost, 3.5L PowerBoost and 5.0L V8: SAE 5W-30. Ford recommends Motorcraft 5W-30; if it is not available, use a 5W-30 oil that meets Ford specification WSS-M2C961-A1 and carries the API Certification Mark (the 2021 manual asks for API SP).
3.3L V6: SAE 5W-20, meeting WSS-M2C960-A1.
3.0L Power Stroke diesel (2021): Motorcraft SAE 5W-30 F-150 diesel motor oil meeting WSS-M2C214-B1. For severe duty service the manual calls for SAE 5W-40 API CK-4.
5.2L supercharged V8 (Raptor R): SAE 5W-50 full synthetic, 11.5 qt (10.88 L).
Ford tells owners not to use supplemental engine oil additives.
