Motor Oil for a 2016 Ford F-150

All 18 motor oils we sell whose own fitment list names this F-150 — not the whole catalog. The one part of this list that is different for almost every engine in the generation. Check yours above before you buy a jug.

Fitment here is our research against manufacturer catalogs, not a test fit. Check any part against your owner’s manual before you buy. How we source fitment

Which engine do you have?

Your oil, oil filter, air filter and spark plugs all follow the engine, not the model year. Engine identity is NOT on the driver-door Safety Compliance label. Two places on the truck carry it: the underhood Vehicle Emission Control Information label, which prints the displacement in liters, and the 8th character of the 17-digit VIN, which is Ford's engine code. We have not sourced Ford's 13th-gen VIN-position-8 code table from a Ford document, so we do not publish a code-to-engine mapping - use the underhood label. The fender or tailgate badge is a fast visual check on most trims, but it will not tell a standard 3.5L EcoBoost from the High-Output version, and from 2019 a Limited can be either.
