6 common questions answered
Is the oil filter replaced every time a 2016 Ford F-150 has its oil changed?Yes, the oil filter should be replaced with the oil according to the manufacturer's maintenance schedule for the 2016 Ford F-150.
The published schedule for this model year calls for oil filter replacement every 10,000 miles. Replacing it with the oil prevents a loaded filter from opening its bypass valve and circulating oil without filtration.
- The filter captures debris carried by engine oil.
- A loaded filter can allow unfiltered oil to circulate.
- The correct timing also depends on the manufacturer's schedule and service history.
What is included in an oil filter replacement on a 2016 Ford F-150?The service includes a filter matched to the engine, a new drain plug gasket or washer where applicable, and a leak check after the engine runs.
The filter is replaced alongside the oil, and the sealing surface is renewed where the engine uses a gasket or washer. After operation, the filter seal is checked for leaks before the truck is returned.
- Engine-matched oil filter.
- New drain plug gasket or washer where used.
- Post-service check for leaks at the filter seal.
What happens if the oil filter on a 2016 Ford F-150 is not replaced?If the filter becomes loaded, its bypass valve can open and let oil circulate without being filtered.
