Frequently Asked Questions
- Can I use full synthetic in my F-150 5.0L?
- Yes. Ford recommends synthetic blend but full synthetic exceeds the spec and provides better protection, especially for towing. Just use the correct 5W-20 weight.
- Why does the F-150 V8 use so much oil?
- The 5.0L Coyote V8 has a large oil capacity (8 quarts) because of its dual overhead cam design and larger oil passages. This is normal and actually beneficial for engine longevity.
