Oil Maintenance and Service Tips
Checking Oil Level
Check engine oil level regularly between changes to ensure proper lubrication. Park the vehicle on level ground and wait five minutes after engine shutdown. Remove the dipstick, wipe clean, reinsert fully, and remove again to check level between MIN and MAX marks.
Oil Change Best Practices
Perform oil changes according to the maintenance schedule or when the oil life monitor indicates service is due. Use only oil meeting Ford WSS-M2C specifications for your engine type. Replace the oil filter during every oil change to remove contaminants.
Oil Filter Replacement
Use Motorcraft FL-500S oil filters or equivalent high-quality filters meeting Ford specifications. Lubricate the new filter gasket with clean oil before installation. Hand-tighten the filter three-quarters of a turn after gasket contact.
Normal vs. Severe Driving Conditions
| Driving Condition | Oil Change Interval |
|---|---|
| Normal (highway, light loads) | 7,500-10,000 miles or 12 months |
| Severe (city traffic, heavy loads, towing) | 3,000-7,500 miles or 12 months |
Severe driving conditions include commercial delivery, contractor work, heavy city traffic, and frequent trailer towing. These conditions generate extreme engine heat requiring more frequent oil changes.

Frequently Asked Questions
What kind of oil does a Ford Transit 150 use?
Ford Transit 150 engines use either SAE 5W-20 or SAE 5W-30 motor oil depending on the engine type. Naturally aspirated 3.5L and 3.7L V6 engines use 5W-20 synthetic blend or full synthetic oil. EcoBoost turbocharged engines require 5W-30 full synthetic oil. The diesel engine uses 5W-40 synthetic diesel oil.
How much oil does a Ford Transit 150 take?
Most Ford Transit 150 gasoline engines hold 6.0 quarts with the oil filter. The 3.2L turbo diesel engine requires 12.0 quarts with filter due to larger displacement and oil cooling requirements. Always verify the exact capacity in your owner’s manual for your specific engine.
What is the recommended oil type for a Ford Transit 150?
Ford recommends Motorcraft synthetic blend or full synthetic oil meeting WSS-M2C945-A specification for 5W-20 engines. EcoBoost engines require full synthetic oil meeting WSS-M2C961-A1 specification. Using manufacturer-approved oil ensures proper lubrication and warranty compliance.
What is the oil change interval for a Ford Transit 150?
Standard oil change intervals range from 7,500 to 10,000 miles or 12 months, whichever comes first. Severe driving conditions require more frequent changes every 3,000 to 7,500 miles. Follow the intelligent oil life monitoring system display or Ford’s maintenance schedule.
Can I use 5W-30 instead of 5W-20 in my Ford Transit 150?
Do not substitute 5W-30 for 5W-20 in engines specified for 5W-20 oil. Each engine is calibrated for specific oil viscosity affecting fuel economy and lubrication. Always use the viscosity specified in your owner’s manual for optimal performance.
What oil filter fits the Ford Transit 150?
The Motorcraft FL-500S oil filter fits most Ford Transit 150 gasoline engines. Equivalent aftermarket filters include Mobil 1 M1-104A and K&N HP-2009. Always verify filter compatibility for your specific model year and engine.
Conclusion
The Ford Transit 150 requires specific oil capacities and viscosities depending on engine configuration. Most gasoline engines use 6.0 quarts of either 5W-20 or 5W-30 oil, while the diesel engine requires 12.0 quarts of 5W-40 oil. Using manufacturer-approved Motorcraft oil meeting Ford WSS specifications ensures optimal protection and performance.
Following recommended maintenance intervals preserves engine reliability and longevity. Commercial operators should consider shorter oil change intervals under severe driving conditions. Always consult your owner’s manual for the exact specifications for your specific model year and engine type.
