2015 Ford F-250 6.2 engine oil capacity

The 2015 Ford F-250 6.2 needs 7 quarts or 6.6 liters of engine oil. You’ll notice that this is different from the 6.2-liter engine displacement, which refers to the size of the engine, not the amount of oil it needs.

What kind of oil does a 2015 Ford F-250 6.2 need?

The 2015 Ford F-250 owner’s manual says that you can use either Motorcraft SAE 5W-20 Premium Synthetic Blend or Motorcraft SAE 5W-20 Full Synthetic motor oil.
The SAE viscosity rating system describes the thickness of engine oils. Modern engines are more complex than older combustion engines, so they need to use multigrade oil. This oil is engineered to behave like thinner oil when it gets cold. 
The “W” in your oil’s grade stands for “Winter”’ and describes how the oil acts in cold weather. The second number is the oil’s regular viscosity rating, measured at 212 degrees Fahrenheit (water’s boiling temperature).

How often to change the oil on a 2015 Ford F-250 6.2

Now that we know how much oil and what kind of oil to use, you’re almost ready to set up your garage to
change the oil and filter
on your 2015 F-250 6.2! But let’s not get ahead of ourselves. First, we need to make sure that your oil is actually due to be changed. No need to waste perfectly functional motor oil by changing it too soon!
Synthetic oil can be changed every 7,500 to 10,000 miles or every 12 months, whichever happens first. Make a habit of recording the date and your car’s odometer reading after every oil change, in order to ensure that you’re not leaving the same oil in your truck for too long. Also, make sure that you check your oil at least once per month
Note the oil level on the dipstick and inspect the oil to see if it’s dirty and ready to be changed, looking for the following signs:
  • Oil looks dirty
  • Oil feels sandy/muddy
  • Strange noises/smells are coming from the engine
  • Engine performance has decreased

How to change your oil and oil filter

Here are the supplies you’ll need to change your F-250 6.2’s oil:
  • 16-mm socket wrench
  • Drain pan
  • New replacement oil filter
  • Funnel
  • Gloves
  • Rags
  • 7 quarts of 5W-20 oil
Start off by running the engine for two to three minutes to warm up the oil, thinning it out so it can drain easier and faster.
Next, follow these steps:
  • Get underneath the truck and locate its oil drain plug. Place your drain pan underneath the drain so it can catch the oil.
  • To start the draining process, loosen the oil drain plug with the socket wrench, and finish it off with your fingers, pulling it out quickly, since the draining will start immediately.
  • If you have a second oil drain pan, slide it underneath the oil filter while you wait for the oil to finish draining. 
  • Remove and replace the oil filter. You might want a filter wrench to do this, but you can also use the hammer and screwdriver method. You might also be able to simply loosen it with your hand.
  • Now that you’ve drained all the oil from the drain and filter and installed a new filter, replace the oil drain plug and tighten it with your wrench. Tighten it well, but don’t over-tighten or you’ll have trouble getting it off next time.
  • Finally, pour your 7 quarts of oil into the oil fill opening under the hood using your funnel.
Let your truck’s engine run for about 30 seconds so that the fresh oil can circulate around the engine. Then, check the oil level using the dipstick. Make sure that you also check for leaks and recycle the old oil at your local recycling center.
