There are only 3 different types of engine options for the 2019 Ford F250.

Ford recommends that the 2019 F250 6.2 L V8 engine takes 7.0 quarts of 5W-30. The 6.8 L engine takes 7.0 qt of SAE 5W-20 oil. And the 6.7 L Diesel engine takes 13.0 qt of SAE 10W-30.

Since some of these engines use 5W-30 and 5W-20 you may also like Can you use 5W-20 instead of 5W-30? where I discuss the risks of switching these oil types.

The information taken for this article was taken from the 2019 F250 owner’s manual.
2019 F250 6.2 L Oil Type, Capacity, & Filter
The 6.2 L V8 engine in the 2019 Ford F250 takes 7.0 qt of SAE 5W-30 engine oil and the Motorcraft FL-820-S Oil Filter.
Ford recommends that you use the Motorcraft version of these two items, which I’ve found on Amazon below, but I believe as long as you choose to use synthetic blend oil with an appropriately sized oil filter, you should have no problems.

Ford mentions that for this engine, if you plan to run frequently at cold starts (or running at extremely cold temperatures) you should use SAE 0W-30. There doesn’t appear to be an easily available Motorcraft version of this, so I recommend Mobile 1 full synthetic as a replacement.
2019 F250 6.7 L Diesel V8 Oil Type, Capacity, & Filter
The 6.7 L Diesel engine in the 2019 Ford F250 takes 13.0 qt of SAE 10W-30 engine oil and uses a Motorcraft FL-2051-S filter.
Ford recommends that you use the Motorcraft version of these two items, which I’ve found on Amazon below, but I believe as long as you choose to use synthetic blend oil with an appropriately sized oil filter, you should have no problems.

How often should you change your F250 Oil?
According to the 2019 Ford F250 manual, under normal usage conditions, the oil in your truck should be changed every 5,000 or every 6 months.
There is an oil change indicator system that should provide a guide as to when the oil should be changed. At a maximum, you should never change your oil with more than 10,000 miles or one year between changes.
Every time you perform an oil change you should also:
- inspect wheels
- rotate tires
- inspect and lubricate u-joints

Selecting the right oil for your 2019 Ford F250
Follow the link below to buy the right oil type for your engine.
Not sure which engine you have? Look under the hood. There should be some kind of label that determines which engine you have.
| Oil Type | Oil Capacity | Filter | |
| 6.2 L | SAE 5W-30 | 7.0 qt | FL-820-S |
| 6.7 L Diesel | SAE 10W-30 | 13.0 qt | FL-2051-S |
| 6.8 L | SAE 5W-20 | 7.0 qt | FL-820-S |
If you do not choose to buy the recommended Motorcraft oil by Ford, you should try to always buy a synthetic blend of oil with one that has the API-certified logo on it.
This will ensure that the oil you are putting in your car conforms to the engine, emission system, and fuel economy standards set by the International Lubricants Specification Advisory Council.
And lastly, DO NOT USE SUPPLEMENTAL ENGINE OIL ADDITIVES!
