Ford recommends changing your 2012 F-350 Super Duty’s oil at regular intervals. Check the interval for your vehicle mileage in the table above.

2012 Ford F-350 Super Duty Oil Change Questions

  • Should I check my Ford F-350 Super Duty motor oil level? Engine oil is a lubricant for the moving parts in your engine. If you're low or out of oil, these components can grind against each other, generate too much heat, and cause your Ford F-350 Super Duty engine to fail. That’s why it’s best to check your oil levels and get your oil changed regularly.
  • Can I change my Ford oil on my own? Changing your own oil isn't as convenient as you might think. It requires special tools and old oil must be disposed of properly. Getting a professional oil change reduces the risk of something going wrong during the service, but it’ll also help your car perform smoothly down the road.
  • Why is my Ford F-350 Super Duty spewing blue or gray exhaust smoke? You could have an oil leak and have a case of burning oil. Looks like it’s time for a professional to take a look. The leak could be the result of worn valve seals, damaged piston rings, or worn cylinder walls.
  • Who can change the oil on my Ford F-350 Super Duty? Firestone Complete Auto Care is here to care for your vehicle with our Ford F-350 Super Duty oil changes and more. Our expert technicians will also suggest the best oil for your vehicle, address oil leaks, and swap out your oil filter.
  • Why is the oil light on in my Ford F-350 Super Duty? If you’re overdue for an oil change, it might trigger your Ford F-350 Super Duty oil change reminder light. If the oil pressure light is illuminated, it could be due to low engine oil, a failing oil pump, a malfunctioning oil pressure sensor, or a clogged oil filter.
  • Should the oil filter be replaced when getting an oil change for my Ford F-350 Super Duty? It's recommended that you replace your Ford F-350 Super Duty oil filter with every oil change. Otherwise, you send fresh, clean motor oil through a dirty filter. That's like putting on muddy socks after a shower.
