2012 F-150 XLT 4x4 with the 5.0. She has 175,000 plus and use Valvoline high mileage Synthetic 5-20. I also run Sea Foam in the tank every oil change. She runs great and love this truck. The thing is oil change and I do it when she hits 50%. While the oil still looks good I just do it anyway. As my father said when I was a kid (I'm 50 now) you take care of your vehicle she will last forever. I also wash her weekly and more often in winter because of the salt. And she doesn't consume any oil at all. I also get about 20 MPG on the freeway. In the city I get about 17 MPG.
Using a product like Lucas in an engine that requires oil pressure to operate the cam phasers is a terrible idea. I'd use either the factory recommended 5w20 or 5w30 at the thickest. Also the first gen Coyotes didn't have an oil consumption issue, it was the 18-20 models. I have a 2012 Super crew platinum with the 5.0 and I get 22.5 mpg on the highway at 65 mph. Not going off of the dash, but actual math. At 155k I use 5w20 fully synthetic oil and 87 octane fuel without any issues. The 5.0 actually gets excellent fuel mileage.If I slow down to 60 mph I can achieve 25-26 mpg!
I have a 2011 f150 coyote 5.0 that has been worked and highway driven Everything stock except muffler deleted 17mpg I use Lucas oil additive every 6000 miles with 10w30 Valvoline. My truck runs and sounds amazing, At 332,443 miles
My 2013 f150 5.0 just passed the 250,000 mark. No oil consumption issues that I can tell. My main worry at this point are the brakes and all bearings. I'll be systematically replacing all that, or checking it. The thing is a solid truck and a highway queen for sure. I am a bit nervous on 1,000 mile trips, but the thing settles in and impresses me every time. It's a solid, good truck for sure. The only major I've done on it is I replaced my transmission. It shifts beautifully now.
Absolutely my man, when you take care of stuff and use the right treatment and and other additives they will just run and run as long as the vehicle is not beating or abused regardless of manufacturer it or they will last
Bought my 2013 F150 5.0 new. Has 285k plus. Have been using Lucas for years. No issues. Still drive 800 mile one way trips twice a month. Looking at getting a new truck for long haul trips and leave the 13 home to use there.
May 14 Platinum 5.0 is currently at 192K. I’ve had since she’s had 91K. No problems whatsoever other than the dreaded lead frame. Bought it on Amazon for 150 bucks and was about a 3 hour job. Other than that, it’s been flawless. Oil changes at 50% oil life, spark plugs and coil packs at 50-60k intervals, air filter change every oil change, fuel filter change every 50K intervals. Normal maintenance. At 200K, I’m gonna do a new front end, and also replace the rubber bushings in the rear.
I sold a 95 F-150 with the old school 302 with well over 300k miles. So hope to get the same with my new to me 2011 coyote with 130k. Only issue so far is oil leak. Pretty simple diy project replaced the oil pan gasket fixed it right up $60 or so. I run regular gas, which is what the book says. I will not own a turbo.
I get 16 mpg with 12.5x35s 3.73 gears a open mesh grill and prerunner bumper with a skid plate. Things like a boat in the wind and get much less. Going to try 34x10.5s and hopefully a gear swap as its currently at 1600rpm at 120km/h(70mph) feels like its lugging too me. Besides i want my tuck to feel like it actually has nearly 400hp
I literally just bought a 2014 5.0 stx with 72K miles on it at a steal. Judging from the video and from other comments it seems like it's been barely broken in lol.
I have a 08 5.43 valve runs great I just change oil m myself with quality filter and oil and have 260,000 on that, I know what everyone says about the, 3 valve. One thing it does happen for those things halfway through a year it has revised cylinder heads with normal looking plugs
I have a 2012 F-150 Lariat 5.0 4x4 with 143,000, and it’s running good. I drive it in the city 90%. What should I do underneath the hood to keep it running good? Do they still do lubricant on vehicle’s?
Still got the truck? if not what happened? I have a 2013 F-150 with a 5.0 that has been running on propane since the date of purchase from a contracting company. It was a pretty great maintenance record and it currently has 401,000km or 250,000 miles. Trying to see how long I can keep it running to test out how capable this truck is.
Damn im impress of how high millage the 5.0L get i just bought a 2015 ford f150 XLT 5.0L V8 with the coyote engine with 67k miles so im set for a while then if it could last up to 250k miles nice 👍😀
My 2015 5.0 has 92k I bought it with 84k, I haven’t had it long but it’s been running beautifully. I hope to have it forever! I love my truck, btw it’s the 5.0, I would not take the v6 screw that
Man I do,36k miles last year @ 4 dollars a gal. 06 f150 18.5 av. I haul with it all the time. I love the stroke I'm about jump in it and go anywhere anywhere
I’ve heard that as well. I actually own an ecoboost now so there will be a video coming later on for that! So far it’s the same but I’ve only had the EB since December
Thank you for that info. Just purchased a 2014 5.0 F150 XLT XTR 4X4. I was wondering about transmission reliability. It was owned by the Canadian Ministry of Transportation up until the end of 2021. Now it lives in Kentucky. I've been shocked by a lack of rust anywhere on the truck. They must've taken good care of it over all those years.

This is really helpful. Just purchased a 2011 F150 5.0 with 2210k miles. Runs like a dream so far and want to keep it that way.

@@jayplaysgames96 im pretty sure that 2010 has a 5.4l v8. The 2011 has the 5.0 v8
2210k? Is that correct?

How many miles were on it when the transmission had to be replaced
@@jonathanbrainard-yl1kk 240k
Bought a 2014 170k miles.4x4.All I did was a tune up and changed all fluids.Runs awesome
Absolutely my man, when you take care of stuff and use the right treatment and and other additives they will just run and run as long as the vehicle is not beating or abused regardless of manufacturer it or they will last
I have an 09 4.6L 3 valve and have found it to be very reliable too. Only 135k but can still average 18 to 19 mpg
Bought my 2013 F150 5.0 new. Has 285k plus. Have been using Lucas for years. No issues. Still drive 800 mile one way trips twice a month. Looking at getting a new truck for long haul trips and leave the 13 home to use there.
Glad to hear about the durability of this engine mine is a 2015 with the same engine
Lucas oil stabilizer or fuel additive? Great mileage though 🍻

crazy I’m back rewatching this video and noticed I commented 8 months ago lol
@@jonathanhaney5673how’s the truck ?
It sounds good
I wonder what is "little bit" of Lucas exactly per 7.7qt?
Usually it’s preference. I think I only used half a quart
Who buys a v8 and obsesses over fuel economy 😬
Literally thousands upon thousands of people because driving 40k+ a year at 10mpg and gas over $3 a gallon adds up
Man I do,36k miles last year @ 4 dollars a gal.
06 f150 18.5 av.
I haul with it all the time. I love the stroke I'm about jump in it and go anywhere anywhere
Don't buy a truck if your looking to get great gas mileage?
@@jerwur39l94exactly
Thousands of dollars wasted on gas a year, who wouldn't? If you need you truck everyday for work it's definitely important
That engine light can probably be causing bad fuel
Did you changed the oil gear?
My 2015 has almost 92k miles 5.0. Was told by several mechanics the v8 is more reliable any thoughts on that?
I’ve heard that as well. I actually own an ecoboost now so there will be a video coming later on for that! So far it’s the same but I’ve only had the EB since December
@@kylequintana as an ecoboost owner now I can agree with that lol
Just less parts to break on the 5.0….. I love mine, only issue was the water pump and I fixed that easy
Fuel economy what is the engine light on for
I had the muffler and resonator deleted
Any problems with trasmision???? I want to buy a 132 .897 miles f150 2012 fx4
None so far. 198k and I tow
The 6R80 trans on the 2011-2017 5.0s are super solid. Not alot of issues with them.

@@burchvideo5737 what’s the Lucus oil you mentioned using ? Thanks.
@@michaelmontalbano772 it’s an oil stabilizer. It’s fills in any oversized gaps from worn tolerances in the engine

A true dual has seperate mufflers and not a single. You should have stayed with the stock exhaust

does it consume engine oil? or does the oil level read full when its time for oil change. thanks
Mine has 160k and she can fux.
