2015–2020 Ford F-150 Factory Maintenance Schedule

Which Ford F-150 model years does this cover?

These service schedule specifications apply to every Ford F-150 built from 2015 through 2020 — the 13th generation (2015–2020, aluminum body), full-size pickup (aluminum body, steel frame). Nothing in this specification changes between those model years. Pick your year for the engines it offered, what changed that year, and the problems recorded against it.

Replace engine air filter (FA-1883); Inspect driveshaft boots, exhaust.

What is due at 60,000 miles on a 2015–2020 Ford F-150?

Replace EcoBoost spark plugs (2.7L / 3.5L EB); Repeat 30,000-mile services.

What is due at 100,000 miles on a 2015–2020 Ford F-150?

Does severe service change the schedule for a 2015–2020 Ford F-150?

Severe service (towing, plowing, dust, idling) roughly halves intervals; transmission fluid at ~30,000 mi under heavy towing. Diesel adds fuel filter (~30k) and DEF top-offs.
