I recently purchased a 2006 F150 with a 5.4L Triton V8. The local mechanic who did my first oil change charged me extra b/c he said these engines require 8 quarts of oil instead of 6. I just changed the oil myself for and the amount I drained out was no where near 8 quarts. Does anyone know how much oil is required to fill it up properly when doing an oil change?

 

Hi
Your manual should say it all.I have a 4.6 liter&this engine takes 6qts of oil.I think the others take 6 qts too.

 

Next oil change refill with five quarts and check the dipstick; add oil to the mark......

 

My 2008's owners manual says 7 quarts, I think. That's the 5.4. The 4.6 I think is 5 plus the filter.

 

2007 4.2 says 6 quarts.... think you got ripped...

 

My 5.4 takes 7 quarts

 

7 qt's for engine and filter.

 

yea same here mine takes a little over seven but if the shops (atleast around here) open another quart they will charge the whole thing

 

It is 6. I think someone is trying to make a little extra.

 

Here we go.
4.2-6 quarts
4.6-6 quarts
5.4-7 quarts
