AMSOIL diesel oil guide for trucks, vans, SUVs and diesel engines<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

For the 2007 Ford F-250 HD Pickup with the 6.0L 8-cylinder Diesel Turbo (Engine Code P), the oil capacity is 14.9 quarts with a filter change. Recommended viscosities include 15W-40 for temperatures above -1\u00b0C, though 10W-30 and 0W-30 are also acceptable in specific temperature ranges per Ford TSB 05-16-6. AMSOIL recommends the Signature Series 15W-40 Max-Duty Diesel Oil<\/a> and the SDF88 Oil Filter<\/a> for optimal protection.<\/p>\n

What oil does a 2007 Ford F-250 HD 6.0L take?<\/h2>\n

The 2007 Ford F-250 HD with the 6.0L diesel engine requires specific viscosities based on your operating environment. According to Ford TSB 05-16-6, several grades are acceptable depending on temperature ranges. For most users in warmer climates, 15W-40 is the preferred viscosity.<\/p>\n

Engine Oil Specifications & Notes<\/h3>\n

The AMSOIL lookup note references Ford Material Engineering Specification WSS-M2C171-F1 for this application. It notes that Ford superseded the original WSS-M2C171-D recommendation with WSS-M2C171-F1 in 2016. Ford continues to recommend oils meeting WSS-M2C171-F1 over CK-4 motor oils for older diesel engines like the 6.0L, as testing on some CK-4 formulations showed inadequate wear protection compared to earlier CJ-4 formulations.<\/p>\n

How much oil does it take with a filter change?<\/h2>\n

The total capacity for the 2007 Ford F-250 HD 6.0L diesel engine is 14.9 quarts when including the oil filter. When performing an oil change, follow these technical steps to ensure proper filling.<\/p>\n
