2021-2023 F150 2.7 EcoBoost Oil & Filter Change

The EcoBoost Ford F150 2.7 oil change is a simple procedure that can be easily done by anyone. With a unconventional plastic oil drain plug that you can remove by hand and a cartridge style oil filter, the oil change is different by no harder than any other. The cartridge style oil filter minimizes any mess from oil spilling out of the oil filter while the plastic oil drain plug is much easier to remove than typical style however the larger bore causes the oil to push out further and with more force than other drain plugs. This article is specific to 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2021 model year F150 trucks equipped with the 2.7L EcoBoost engine.

Tools Needed:

27mm socket, extension (6”+) and ratchet for the oil filter housing
8mm socket and ratchet for the lower engine cover
O ring pick
Funnel
Oil drain pan with at least 6 quart capacity
Shop rags or towels

Parts needed:

Engine oil filter: Motorcraft FL2062 or equivalent aftermarket part
Amazon Link

Engine oil: 5W30 engine oil (6.0 quart capacity)

Optional – Engine oil drain plug (only needed if it is found to be damaged or if oil is leaking past the O ring)

This is the 3rd time I changed the oil on my 2020 2.7. The oil filter always came out with the filter housing as it did this last time. However when I placed the filter in the housing this time I couldn’t get the housing to screw in. Watching your vid you put the filter in the engine then screwed the housing on and it worked perfect for me also when I did it your way. You saved a headache. Thank you so much great job.

Awesome video, they make a after market drain plug to replace that plastic plug and it’s less messy. Opening the plastic cap slowly like you mentioned does prevent a big mess as well. 100% synthetics is definitely the way to go! 🤙🏽

Should have shown the oil plug coming out and if the oil draining hits the sway bar near the drain plug. Also, good idea to check the level on the dipstick after adding in the new oil in case you forgot to install the drain plug or the oil somehow found it's way somewhere else other than in the pan. I wish Ford had copied Subaru and had used a good old fashioned metal case filter in that location, a lot less hassle just replacing the old-fashioned type filters, but I do give Ford credit for the easy access and vertical placement.

Always pop the hood and remove oil cap First. Just in case there’s a problem gettin the hood open or getting the cap off.

Great content, thanks for the service ⚓!

I like your oil choice 👍🏻 06 Dodge Cummins Valvoline premium blue, Lincoln MKX 2.7 ECO Valvoline full synthetic

[LA_Commander]

That's a good looking cap! But I was slightly disappointed you didn't show the old oil draining out. To me that's always the best part.

[JamesRiccio-bk]

Should have taken the oil filter out FIRST so oil drains completely!

[Buzzkill-dkgk]

Good video brother. Just an FYI to your surprise as to the amount of oil needed for the engine. It requires the 6 quarts because the turbo is also lubricated with it. This also makes it more important to have your oil changed when it's time and not put it off till later.

Is there any maintenance required for the turbos?

Will the truck computer know if the oil was change or does it have to be manually reset?

[davidnoyes]

Jiffy lube said I have to put a new plug in it each time I change the oil, why? It’s 13 bucks who care, I’m just wondering

[danielfisher]

Just bought a 2024 2.7. Ford recommends oil change ever 10k, how much earlier are you doing yours?

[brianberson]

I’m curious on why u didn’t have a dealer do it?Is it not under warranty?Im only asking cuz my truck has 2500 miles on it and I want a dealer to change the oil now cuz its broke in but don’t no if the will cuz the app says 10k miles.i just want it documented in case I ever sell it

[yourfamous]

How many km or miles do you change your oil?

[MikeSchill-ndnx]

Should change filter first, dirty oil that is in filter housing drains into pan when black housing cap with oring is removed.

I work in the industry working with petroleum and it’s my experience that there’s no need to run full vs semi synthetic oil. Save your money just get semi-synthetic.
