Service intervals by mileage
| Service | Interval | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Oil change | Every 7,500–10,000 miles or 12 months | Cut to 5,000 miles when towing or idling heavily. |
| Tire rotation | Every 5,000–8,000 miles | Heavy front-end weight wears the front tires faster. |
| Engine air filter | Every 30,000 miles | Job-site dust clogs filters early — inspect at every oil change. |
| Brake inspection | Every 10,000 miles | Loaded braking wears pads faster than the manual assumes. |
| Transmission fluid | Every 60,000 miles (30,000 with heavy towing) | Heat from towing is the main cause of transmission failure. |
| Rear differential fluid | Every 50,000 miles, or after water submersion | Protects the ring and pinion under load. |
| Transfer case fluid (4x4) | Every 60,000 miles | Keeps 4WD engagement clean. |
| Spark plugs | Every 100,000 miles (60,000 EcoBoost) | Turbo engines are harder on plugs. |
| Coolant | Every 100,000 miles | Prevents corrosion in the aluminum block. |
| DOT / state inspection | Annually | Commercial-plated trucks need documented annual inspections. |
Intervals are typical guidance. Always defer to your owner's manual and to severe-duty intervals if you tow, idle heavily, or drive in dust, salt or extreme heat.

Frequently asked questions
- How often should an F-150 that tows get an oil change?
- Every 5,000 miles. Towing counts as severe duty and roughly halves the standard interval.
- When does an EcoBoost F-150 need spark plugs?
- Around 60,000 miles for turbocharged engines versus 100,000 for the naturally aspirated V8.
