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

For the 2016 Ford F-350 Pickup with the 6.7L 8-cylinder Engine Code [T] U Diesel Turbo, the engine oil capacity is 13.1 quarts<\/strong> (including filter replacement). Recommended viscosities include 10W-30 for normal usage and 5W-40 for severe operations. AMSOIL recommends using Signature Series Max-Duty Synthetic Diesel Oil<\/strong> paired with an AMSOIL Oil Filter<\/strong> for optimal protection.<\/p>\n

What oil does a 2016 Ford F-350 6.7L Diesel take?<\/h2>\n

The 2016 Ford F-350 with the 6.7L Power Stroke engine requires specific viscosities based on operating temperatures and usage severity. The manufacturer recommends 10W-30 for normal operations and 5W-40 for severe duty cycles. If you are using biodiesel fuel blends (up to B20), it is recommended to use 5W-40 or 15W-40 oil.<\/p>\n

AMSOIL product recommendations<\/h2>\n

The following high-performance fluids and filters are recommended for your Ford Power Stroke diesel engine to support durability and efficiency.<\/p>\n

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

The AMSOIL lookup note references the Ford Material Engineering Specification WSS-M2C171-F1<\/strong> for this application. In 2016, Ford superseded the original WSS-M2C171-D recommendation with the F1 standard. The manufacturer notes that Ford continues to recommend oils meeting WSS-M2C171-F1 over standard CK-4 motor oils in the 6.7L diesel engines to provide additional wear protection.<\/p>\n

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

For a complete oil service on the 2016 Ford F-350 6.7L Diesel, you will need approximately 13.1 quarts<\/strong> of engine oil when replacing the filter. It is essential to check the oil level after refilling to ensure accuracy.<\/p>\n
