Dude...it should say recommended and maybe even the # of quarts on the engine oil cap under the hood. It will say for sure in the book and also...we'll need to know the engine it has to know what to tell you at all...You can even look it up on google i'm sure...I mean if you know how much yours takes I assume you change it yourself, so you do know how to find this info I imagine than no?....mine is 5.4L V8 F150 Scab and takes 7 qts of 5w20....

Worth mentioning that as 99Trigger3_0 just posted, Ford recommends 5w20 oil, rather than 5w30.

Thanks man.... I appreciate it !! The only reason I asked in the first place is I know the manuals on this subject are sometimes quite a bit off.. I have my truck down to a science, so I figured someone that had one of these and changes his own oil would know best... YES I could have figured it out as to what the book says !!!!

Let me know when your in town.
By the way ya the book says to use 5w20, I always use 5w30....and my good friend who is a tech at a ford dealer uses it to and advised me to.
On a hot day if you work your truck, he says the 2w20 is too thin to protect as well as the 5w30 does.

I'm going to trust the engineers at ford over a tech at a dealership to know which oil is right for my engine.....If you search on here you'll find a few instances of guys blowing up engines after using the wrong oil......the truck absolutely should have 5w20 in it....

wal mart has 5qt jug for $12.95 and qts for $2.60 MC 5W20
filter $3.50 MC 820
or your dealer may have special $19.99 out the door no hidden cost(ask them)
it took me awhile to get use to useing such thin oil
but your truck will love it
