Finally back in the Ford Family/Question

Well, it was about five years, but I finally came back to the Ford side. My first two trucks were a 2000 and 2002 F-150 back in high school and then I drove a Dodge 1500 throughout college and with my first big purchase as an adult I bought this pretty thing.

2012 F-150 Lariat with 6.2L V8 engine. I love it so far.







Now to my question, I'm about to change the oil for the first time and I want to do it myself. I was just wondering if there was a step-by-step someone could give me for doing this, since I just switched brands and I'm totally unknowledgeable with the newer Fords. Thanks!

I'm not sure all of this would be relevant but I did find this.

Thanks! Like I said, I'm loving it thus far and the 6.2L has gotten better gas mileage so far than what I thought it would!

Looking forward to the bit of work I want to have done on it as well. I'm hoping to put a Ranch Hand grill guard (not replacement) and level with some more aggressive tires on at some point. I'm sure she'll be a knockout then.

Congrats on the truck, it looks great and you will LOVE the 6.2 i know i love mine


Doing an oil change on the 6.2 is stupid easy also, i'm ready to do my second one since buying mine.

Congrats on the new truck! That 6.2L does sound pretty mean even through a stock exhaust. Hope you enjoy it!
