What is the 2004 Ford F-150’s oil type?

It’s always a good idea to learn basic car maintenance skills! The 2004
Ford F-150
uses fully synthetic 5W-20 motor oil.
The 2004 Ford F-150 pickup truck came equipped with two engine options: 4.6-liter V8 and 5.4-liter V8. And thankfully, both engines use the same oil type—though be aware that the 4.6 engine’s motor oil capacity is 6 quarts with the filter, while the 5.4 engine is 7 quarts. Ford recommends changing the oil in your F-150 every 7,500 miles or every six months—whichever comes first.
But when in doubt, check your Ford Owner’s Manual to keep track of your truck’s proper maintenance schedule!
Learning how to change your own oil is a big money saver. And if you want to keep the car-related saving coming,
