The 2024 Ford TRANSIT-350 with its robust 3.5L 6-cylinder engine demands careful oil maintenance to ensure reliability and long life. Routine oil changes using the correct oil type and capacity are crucial for this hardworking van. Whether you’re running deliveries or shuttling passengers, skipping maintenance can lead to costly repairs. For fast, expert oil changes, find a Costa Oil near you and keep your TRANSIT-350 in top condition.

What Oil Does a 2024 Ford TRANSIT-350 Take?

Choosing the recommended oil type is critical for optimal engine protection and performance, especially with Ford’s 3.5L Engine Code [8] 998 O Flex. Ford recommends different oil viscosities based on your local climate:

• 5W-30: For ambient temperatures above -29°C (-20°F)
• 0W-30: For improved startup protection, especially in colder climates

Using the correct viscosity grade helps your engine start easier in extreme cold, maintains proper lubrication, and reduces internal wear. Ford specifies these grades because they guarantee the right oil flow and film strength for the 3.5L engine’s tight tolerances—delivering protection across a broad temperature range.

2024 Ford TRANSIT-350 Oil Capacity

The engine oil capacity for the 2024 Ford TRANSIT-350 3.5L is a substantial 12 quarts (11.4 liters). Always double-check by inspecting the dipstick after filling and running the engine, as a slightly low or overfilled level can affect engine performance. Overfilling can lead to foaming, increased crankcase pressure, and possible oil leaks, while underfilling risks excessive wear from inadequate lubrication. Trusting a professional like Costa Oil ensures your oil change is filled to exact spec.

How Often Should You Change the Oil on a 2024 Ford TRANSIT-350?

Ford recommends an oil change interval of every 7,500 miles or 6 months—whichever comes first—if using full synthetic motor oil. Conventional oils may require more frequent oil changes, typically every 3,000–5,000 miles, but synthetic is always best for modern engines like the 2024 TRANSIT-350. Signs that you might need to change oil sooner include heavy-duty driving, frequent idling, towing, or repeated short trips where your engine rarely reaches full operating temperature.

Oil Filter for the 2024 Ford TRANSIT-350

The oil filter is a vital component, removing contaminants and keeping oil clean as it circulates through your 3.5L engine. For the 2024 TRANSIT-350, the recommended filter is the Costa Oil COF2222, which meets or exceeds OEM-spec filtration standards. Quality matters—an OEM-spec filter traps more harmful particles compared to generic options, prolonging engine life and maintaining oil flow. Don’t skimp; use the right Costa Oil part for dependable protection.
