* Year: The recommended oil viscosity changes over the years.

* Climate: Colder climates may require a different viscosity than warmer ones.
To find the correct oil for your specific Ford F-150, you should:
1. Check your owner's manual: This is the most reliable source of information. It will specify the recommended oil type (viscosity and API certification) and oil capacity.
2. Look at the oil fill cap: Sometimes, the recommended oil type is printed on the oil fill cap.
3. Consult your local Ford dealership or a qualified mechanic: They can advise you on the appropriate oil for your truck based on its year, engine, and your driving conditions.
Using the wrong type of oil can damage your engine, so always consult your owner's manual or a professional before changing your oil.
