How to change the oil in a 2016 Ford F150

How to change the oil in a 2016 Ford F150 3.5 liter Ecoboost.

Best part about this video is your daughter in the background 😊 I have a one year old and cannot wait till she talks like that 😆

Hey Brother.. You don't have to remove the noise dampener or guard. You can access the drain plug from the side and the guard is designed in a way that allows the oil to funnel and drain thru the two holes at the bottom. Also my recommended oil for my non turbo 3.5L is 5w20, not 5w30. You said ALL ford engines are 5w30. Cheers

[@jtalman966]

Hey @Pete332 - This video is for Ecoboosts. 2016 F150's with the ecoboost require removing the dampener. The metal guard under the filter can stay put, but to access the drain plug you definitely need to remove the dampener. No one cares about your non-turbo 3.5L 5w20. The ecoboost oil cap clearly says 5w30.

Thanks for the help on the Non-turbo 3.5. I care. It's my sons truck. I have the 3.5 twin turbo....

[@darinbertolini5535]

When you use a tool how about specifying what the tool is, size, etc.

[@divadogluz]

Thanks you Sir. Greatly appreciated! Save bunch of money.....

[@GearheadENG]

Just a tip; after changing the oil, hold the accelerator pedal to the floor and crank the engine. This will disengage the fuel injectors activate the oil pump to prime the filter and system. Another tip is to disconnect the battery on every oil change. this will reset your computer's learned values and give to better fuel economy.

[@susan0729]

Great tip, thanks

[@jtalman966]

This tip has to be a joke. Change the oil and then floor it? Also, disconnecting the battery resets a bunch of other things like the clock, and stored channels, bluetooth settings... etc. Disconnecting the battery does not reset the ECU.

[@GearheadENG]

@J Talman I still have my F150 and do the oil prime every time... look it up. For the ECU relearn.... your milage my vary

[@antoniovelasco408]

Don’t do that

[@GearheadENG]

@antoniovelasco408 Oil Priming Procedure "Hold the gas pedal to the floor and crank the engine for 20 seconds at a time, waiting a minute between each interval to let the starter cool down" Care to explain why it's incorrect? I've been doing it for 8 years on the same truck. I also use this procedure if I haven't driven the truck for a couple weeks.

Thanks

Hey man nice video. About to change my 3.5 eco boost for the first time today. Not new to oil changes but nice to see where oil filter,drain plug are in advance. Some of these unappreciative dumb ass comments are some real dumb ass in-confident people who have no right driving or even owning a vehicle. Anyways,great video man!😀👍

[@dojoe3708]

Easy! Thank you!

[@GoingGordons]

The oil filter drain did not work for me, I suppose because of the ramp / lift. Did you take the truck off the ramps after draining the oil?

[@Inlinesixgarage]

Paddleboy the drain channel underneath the oil filter will direct oil to the front or to the back. So you should be o.k. with the truck on ramps. I use ramps as well and the residual filter oil drains out the rear channel. Good luck.

[@WereAllThatBored]

The reason it didn't work is you have the cloth dampener. The metal skid guard works flawlessly. I have the cloth version and all it does is soaks oil into the dampener until it becomes saturated. No fun

[@supertitan21]

I take both skid guards of it takes one minute with my cordless impact.

[@happynow01]

My 2.7 is a nightmare! I left the sound damp panel off of it... and after 55k miles I take it to Ford, done breaking my back. the filter is on top of engine & it's a canister with oil rings you have to replace.. o rings covered in oil, what could go wrong? Oil pan plug is a half turn odd plastic thing requiring 100% faith it will hold! 2.7 oil change is totally a nightmare crap non design joke... your smart to have 3.5!!!! I wish I had gone with any other engine.. anyway... I enjoyed the video, my girl likes to help when I work on truck !!! lol that's the best part...

[@Inlinesixgarage]

Thanks Jay. It's not a bad idea to take it in to Ford for an oil change every 4-5 oil changes. That way they can inspect the fluids in all of your other gear boxes and do their 21 point inspection. Enjoy your Ecoboost!

[@blackericdenice]

You got tired of changing your oil? What kind of man are you? I got 4000 miles on my 2016 F165 and I'm having an oil change cookout at 7500. This is my 1st car with the oil filter up top.

[@blackericdenice]

I thought I was the only person who turn it until it stop. Then back it off a little.

[@jayg5962]

my 3.5L naturally aspirated takes 5W20

[@jtalman966]

Then go watch a video where they change the oil in a naturally aspirated 3.5L. This is an ecoboost which takes 5w30

[@skate9111wolf]

I love how you didn’t show the oil drain bolt or tell us the size

[@Powerstroke98]

After watching a couple of video's....the drain bolt is 15mm size.

[@carljohn6500]

thank you sir

[@youlovejoe]

IS THIS A REVERE THEAD

[@skpjoecoursegold366]

why does my oil cap say 5W20 on it?

[@RohzekVT]

Because not every truck takes the same oil type, it depends on what engine you have in it. In this case, the Ecoboost engines take 5w-30 and the standard/Flexfuel engines take 5w-20. Always go by what's written on your oil cap/owner's manual and not just what you see online.

[@cd8558]

My 5.0 recommends 5W-20.

[@marcusmendoza9354]

I wish my Tahoe took 6 quarts instead of 8.5

[@lynndempsey4096]

Shouldn't have got a piece of shit Chevy!!!!!

[@christophercraig8371]

Ha ha

[@marcusmendoza1633]

@@lynndempsey4096 so far it’s mint 🤝

[@bgdavenport]

Waste of friggin time. thanks for telling me what size socket to use for the oil drain plug.

[@danielecheverria5867]

You probably shouldn’t be changing your own oil if you can determine that on your own

[@maineoutdoorsman677]

Why didn't u show where the plug was ,don't u think that would be important

[@Powerstroke98]

Plug? Do you mean the drain bolt? He did show it, and showed putting it back in as well.
