2018 Ford F-150
2018 Ford F-150 with-filter oil capacity and viscosity by engine, from the February 2018 third printing. No drain-plug torque is printed.
Difficulty, time, and cost are estimates when this guide gives them. Torque is a cited figure, or it is left off.

Numbers on this page come from the cited source. Match the engine before you use a capacity or a torque. Do not work under a vehicle held only by a jack.
Funnel
The gasoline top-up steps say you may need a funnel at the filler cap.
Clean lint-free cloth
The oil-check steps say to wipe the dipstick with a clean, lint-free cloth.

Set the parking brake and put the transmission in Park or Neutral. Run the engine to normal temperature, park on level ground, switch it off, and wait 15 minutes. Open the hood, wipe the dipstick, seat it, and read it again. The level should sit between the minimum and maximum marks. At the minimum mark, add oil immediately. Between the marks, do not add oil.
Clean around the filler cap, turn it counterclockwise, and add oil that meets the spec. You may need a funnel. Recheck the dipstick, seat it, and turn the cap clockwise until it resists. The 2.7L EcoBoost and the 3.5L EcoBoost take SAE 5W-30, 6.0 qt (5.7 L) with the filter. The 3.3L takes SAE 5W-20, 6.0 qt (5.7 L) with the filter. The 5.0L takes SAE 5W-20, 8.8 qt (8.3 L) with the filter. Those figures include the filter. They are not a top-up amount.
Motorcraft numbers in the same manual are FL-2062 for the 2.7L EcoBoost and FL-500-S for the 3.3L, the 3.5L EcoBoost, and the 5.0L. If a Motorcraft oil filter is not available, the manual says to use a filter that meets SAE/USCAR-36. It does not print a drain-plug torque.
The 3.0L diesel capacity including the filter is 6.5 qt (6.15 L) of Motorcraft SAE 5W-30 diesel oil meeting WSS-M2C214-B1. The filter is FL-2081. For severe duty, and for biodiesel blends up to B20, the diesel section says to use SAE 5W-40 API CK-4. Do not pour a gasoline 5W-20 or 5W-30 spec into the diesel.
For ambient temperatures at or below −22°F (−30°C), the gasoline sections allow SAE 0W-30 meeting WSS-M2C953-A1 on the 2.7L and 3.5L EcoBoost, and SAE 0W-20 meeting WSS-M2C947-A on the 3.3L and 5.0L. That is a cold-start alternative, not the normal fill.
Gasoline fuel tanks in the same capacity tables are 23.0 gal (87.1 L) for Regular Cab and SuperCab, 26.0 gal (98.4 L) for SuperCrew, and 36.0 gal (136.3 L) optional. The diesel fuel-tank row is a single 26 gal (98.4 L). The 2020 F-150 book uses later oil specifications, including WSS-M2C946-B1 on the EcoBoost engines, so do not copy this 2018 sheet onto a 2020 truck.
