2009–2014 Ford F-150 Oil Notifications, Oil Type & Oil Changes

Newer Ford F-150s come with convenient features that monitor your engine oil and help remind you to get an oil change. Depending on your year and trim, your truck may have one of the following systems:

Oil Life Monitoring System (OLMS): The Oil Life Monitoring System tracks your driving habits, engine conditions, and other factors to determine when an oil change is needed. This system does not just rely on mileage but considers factors like engine temperature, driving conditions, and load. When it's time for an oil change, the system will display a notification like “Oil Change Required” on your dashboard. In general, most F-150s produced since 2004 include some form of oil monitoring.

Driver Information Display: On newer F-150s, the Driver Information Display provides real-time feedback about your oil life percentage, showing how much usable life is left before your next oil change. This can be accessed through the truck’s dashboard menu, often found in the “Vehicle Maintenance” section.

Oil Change Interval Customization (on some models): Depending on your model year, you might have the option to set oil change intervals manually through the vehicle’s information display. This is useful for drivers who want to customize their maintenance schedule based on their driving habits.
