My partner has a 2008 Ford F150 with a 4.6 L engine and wants to start doing oil changes at home. What type of oil does he need to buy?

Oil changes are pretty simple to learn if you have the right equipment, and it’s a great way to save money on car expenses. For the 2008
Ford F150
with a 4.6 L Triton V8 engine, you’ll need 6.0 quarts of SAE 5W-20 oil with a Motorcraft FL-820-S oil filter. Ideally, you should change the oil on your F150 every 10,000 miles. When you’re doing it, you may want to consider taking care of some other basic maintenance items:
  • Tire inspection and rotation
  • Engine oil change and filter replacement
  • Cooling system and hoses
  • Complete exhaust system and heat shields
  • Automatic transmission fluid
  • Brake pads/shoes/rotors/drums and parking brake
  • Inspection and lubrication of all non-sealed steering linkage, ball joints, suspension joints, half and drive-shafts, and u-joints
  • Front axle lubricant level/condition
  • Multi-point inspection
Maintenance costs on a large vehicle can be high, but there’s one way to easily save on car expenses:
