03 / The year in context

What this schedule asks of you

The 2017 F-150 rides the thirteenth generation aluminum body with four engine choices and a 6-speed automatic. Routine service runs on the oil-life monitor with a 10,000-mile ceiling, 7,500-mile rotations, plugs at 100,000, and coolant first due at 100,000.

What actually determines maintenance cost on this truck is duty cycle. A commuter F-150 lives on the normal schedule and is inexpensive to run. A truck that tows lives on the special operating conditions schedule, where the transmission fluid interval falls by a factor of five and every fluid on the truck ages faster.

Engine choice changes the details: the naturally aspirated 3.5L is the simplest to service, the EcoBoost pair adds turbo plumbing and 5W-30, and the 5.0L takes nearly eight quarts. All four are chain driven with no belt service on the schedule.

SEV

Shorter intervals

Do you use the severe schedule?

Frequent short trips, towing, dusty roads, extreme temperatures, and long idling shorten the intervals. The severe column in the table above shows by how much; the toggle in the mileage check applies it.

04 / Worth knowing

Before you book service

  • 01

    These model years have no cabin air filter. The HVAC intake is screened only, which is why none appears in this schedule.

  • 02

    Four engines with two oil specs: the 3.5L Ti-VCT and 5.0L take 5W-20, both EcoBoost engines take 5W-30. The capacities differ too, so confirm the engine before buying a jug.

  • 03

    Towing is the schedule fork for this truck. It drops the transmission fluid from 150,000 miles to 30,000 and shortens axle fluid, oil, and plug life along with it.

  • 04

    The aluminum body ended rocker and bed rust, but the steel frame underneath still deserves an annual look in salt states.

  • 05

    For 2017 the 3.5L EcoBoost moved to its second generation with port and direct injection and picked up the new 10-speed automatic, which uses Mercon ULV fluid rather than Mercon LV.

05 / Cost outlook

What routine service may cost

Estimated from this schedule over five years or 60,000 miles of normal driving. Parts, labor rates, location, and condition all move the total; treat these as planning figures.

5 years / 60K at a shop $750 to $1,750 Independent shop rates
DIY parts estimate $250 to $670 Routine items only

08 / Common questions

2017 F-150 service answers

01 How often does a 2017 Ford F-150 need an oil change?

The published interval is every 10,000 miles or 12 months, whichever comes first. Under severe conditions such as short trips, towing, dust, or extreme temperatures, the interval drops to 5,000 miles.

02 Does the 2017 Ford F-150 have a timing belt or a timing chain?

Every available engine, the 3.5L V6 Ti-VCT and the 2.7L V6 EcoBoost and the 3.5L V6 EcoBoost and the 5.0L V8 Coyote, uses a timing chain. There is no scheduled timing belt replacement.

03 What oil does the 2017 Ford F-150 take, and how much?

3.5L V6 Ti-VCT: 5W-20, 6 quarts with filter. 2.7L V6 EcoBoost: 5W-30, 6 quarts with filter. 3.5L V6 EcoBoost: 5W-30, 6 quarts with filter. 5.0L V8 Coyote: 5W-20, 7.7 quarts with filter. Confirm the grade printed in the owner's manual before buying.

04 When do the spark plugs need to be replaced on a 2017 Ford F-150?

The schedule calls for spark plugs every 100,000 miles. Heavy towing wears plugs faster, especially on turbocharged engines. Pull one for inspection around 60,000 if the truck works hard.

05 Does the 2017 Ford F-150 ever need automatic transmission fluid changes?

Plan on automatic transmission fluid every 150,000 miles, or 30,000 miles under severe use. Normal duty is 150,000 miles. Towing, plowing, or fleet duty moves it to 30,000.

06 When does the 2017 Ford F-150 need a coolant change?

Engine coolant is first due at 100,000 miles, then every 50,000 miles. The specified coolant is Motorcraft Specialty Gold.

07 What extra maintenance does the 4WD F-150 need?

The driveline adds its own fluids: differential gear oil and, where fitted, transfer case fluid. They are inexpensive services with long intervals under normal use, and much shorter ones under towing or off-road duty. The schedule table lists each with its interval.

08 What counts as severe service for the 2017 Ford F-150?

Repeated trips under about five miles, extended idling, stop-and-go traffic in heat, dusty or gravel roads, towing, and sustained sub-freezing starts. If a few of those describe a typical week, use the severe column in the table above; most manufacturers write their fine print around exactly that kind of driving.
