I assume you mean engine oil, if so 6 quarts including the filter. The 302, 351, and the 460 all take six quarts, not sure what the 300 takes.

The capacities chart in my Chilton manual (covers 87-96) says a 92 F-150 with a 5.0 takes 6 qts of oil. Same as my 91 5.0.

Chris

Same chart says 6 qts for the 4.9 also.

My 1996 F150's manual said 5.0 qts for all engines, but said 6 with filter change.

I missed the last part, put 5 in with a filter change and the oil level reads full on the dipstick :shrug:

5qts. for my 302. The only engine I've seen use 6qts(or more since it's hungry) is my dads '01 Suburban with a 5.3l. I say it's hungry because it doesn't leak oil and there's no blue smoke or the burning oil smell coming out of the exhaust.
