2015–2020 F-150 Oil Changes and Details

The 2015–2020 Ford F-150 models come equipped with advanced tools to help you stay on top of oil changes and keep your engine running smoothly. These systems are designed to provide accurate, real-time information about your oil life and make routine maintenance easier than ever.

Intelligent Oil-Life Monitor™ (IOLM): The Intelligent Oil-Life Monitor in these F-150s uses advanced algorithms to assess your driving habits, engine performance, and environmental conditions to determine when an oil change is necessary. Unlike older systems that rely solely on mileage, this monitor considers factors like load, engine heat, and stop-and-go driving. When it’s time for an oil change, the system will alert you with a message such as “Oil Change Required” on the dashboard display.

Driver Productivity Screen: The F-150’s productivity screen provides easy access to oil life data. Located in the instrument cluster, this display shows a percentage indicating how much oil life remains. You can navigate to this information via the menu under “Vehicle Maintenance.” This feature lets you keep tabs on your truck’s oil condition at a glance.

FordPass App Integration (on select models): Many 2015–2020 Ford F-150 trims integrate with the FordPass app, offering a convenient way to monitor oil life remotely. The app not only shows the current oil life percentage but also sends push notifications when maintenance is needed. This digital assistant makes it easier to schedule service and stay ahead of potential engine issues.

Customizable Oil Change Reminders: Some F-150 models from this generation let you customize oil change intervals through the Driver Information Display. This feature allows you to adjust the settings based on your specific driving conditions and habits, offering flexibility for those who want more control over their maintenance schedule.

With these features, the 2015–2020 Ford F-150 makes vehicle maintenance straightforward and stress-free, helping your engine perform optimally for years to come.
