What kind of oil does a 2002 Ford F-250 take?

A 2002 Ford F-250's oil type depends on the engine it has. There were several engine options available that year. To know for sure, you need to check your owner's manual or the sticker located under the hood (often near the radiator).

However, common oil types for a 2002 F-250 include:

* Conventional: If the engine isn't high-mileage and you don't put a lot of strain on it, a conventional oil meeting the specifications in your owner's manual is acceptable. Likely a 10W-30 or 15W-40 weight.

* Synthetic Blend: Offers a balance of performance and cost. Again, check your manual for the recommended weight and specifications.

* Full Synthetic: Provides the best performance and protection, especially in extreme temperatures or harsh driving conditions. The weight will be specified in your owner's manual, often similar to the conventional options.

Crucially, you must check your owner's manual for the exact oil type and viscosity recommended by Ford for your specific engine. Using the wrong oil can damage your engine.
