These instructions apply to the Ford F-150 Mk12 (P415) 2009-2014.
For other models, please choose your vehicle here.
The 2009–2014 Ford F-150 (P415) uses the Intelligent Oil-Life Monitor, which you reset from the message center after each oil change. The method depends on your cluster buttons. This is the US-market procedure. (Note: the 6.2L V8 has no oil monitor — it follows a fixed 7,500-mile schedule.)
Standard cluster (SETUP / RESET buttons)
- Switch the ignition ON (engine off).
- Press SETUP until the message center shows OIL LIFE XXX% — HOLD RESET = NEW.
- Press and hold RESET for about two seconds and release — the oil life returns to 100%.
Productivity cluster (OK button)
- Ignition ON. Use the steering-wheel arrows to open Settings.
- Select Oil Life Reset, then press and hold OK to set it to 100%.
FAQ
Which method is mine?
Trucks with SETUP/RESET buttons use the first method; trucks with the OK-button productivity cluster use the Settings menu.
My 6.2L has no oil-life display.
Correct — the 6.2L V8 doesn’t use the monitor; change the oil on the fixed 7,500-mile interval.
What oil does it take?
5W-20 on the 3.7L V6, 5.0L and 6.2L V8; 5W-30 on the 3.5L EcoBoost. Capacities run 6.0–7.7 qt by engine.
If your F-150 stores a fault code with the warning light, look it up on autodtcs.com.
