2002 F250 Triton 5.4L v8 Oil Change and Maintenance Questions?

I just bought a used 2002 F250 XL 5.4L V8 4x4 with 186,000 miles. Unfortunately it did not come with owners manual and I have NEVER owned a truck before. The seller was a truck dealer so he does not know about any previous maintenance history of the truck. But I will try to get the previous owner's info and contact him to get more info on the truck. In the meantime, I would like to get some answers to the following questions:



1) How many quarts of oil does it require with oil filter being replaced?

2) What oil grade / viscosity?

3) Can I use synthetic or should I just get conventional high mileage oil? If you can recommend a particular brand and type of oil for this high mileage truck, please do so.

4) What oil filter brand and model should I get?

5) What other things should I change or check on this truck?

6) Should I change the transmission oil? If so, what do I need? Oil , filter, etc???

7) Should I change rear differential oil? If so, what do I need? Oil , filter, etc???

8) Should I change the fuel filter?



Thank you in advance.2002 F250 Triton 5.4L v8 Oil Change and Maintenance Questions?1) 6.1 quarts

2) 5W-20 (You can use 0W-20 in full synthetic)

3) Full synthetic is the best choice for any vehicle regardless of mileage, AMSOIL 0W-20 will keep your truck at optimum performance for many, many years.

4) AMSOIL Absolute Efficiency Series if you decide to use full synthetic oil, they are designed to be used in conjunction with AMSOIL Synthetic Oils for extended drain intervals (up to 35,000 miles).

5) Make sure the truck has had the speed control wire harness update performed (at no cost to you by your local Ford dealer), it is part of a massive recall on Ford vehicles and can result in the vehicle catching on fire if not replaced.

6) Yes, assuming you have the 4R100 automatic transmission, AMSOIL Synthetic Universal Automatic Transmission Fluid is an excellent choice along with the WIX brand filter (WIX Model #58968).

7) Yes, but without knowing your specific rear differential it is either 75W-140 or 75W-90. Your front differential is most likely 75W-90. AMSOIL also produces synthetic gear oil for these applications.

8) Yes, the fuel filter is generally changed every 25,000 miles.

do not change trans fluid or axles, if you don't know what you are doing...

fuel filters require a special tool...

i would have the last three done by a Professional

you can order an owners manual from ford, or maybe napa, definitely buy a repair manual from napa...
