Just sold my 2018 Silverado and bought a 98 F150 4.6l 4x4 exact same color as yours the body on your truck is in insane shape. Mine will be getting patch panels and repaint soon... but I paid 2500 for it. So not bitching..
If you go buy a bottle of Lucas Oil Stabilizer, The Super Thick Stuff. Add it in and in about 1000 miles of driving it will seal the rings and valve seals and won't use another drop.
Regarding the plug being rough coming out in the beginning, don’t really worry about it. I work on cars and doing oil changes, over half of all fords from this era just don’t want the plug to come out. I’ve never seen that be a culprit of a leak but it just makes a mess when you take it out since oil starts to drain as soon as it’s remotely loose
Good choice on oil! One of the best oils you can get! K&N not needed. For oil filter Motorcraft is good or wix. Napa gold is same as wix but napa has went way up in price! You could've went with a 5w30 or something. Sounds like Larry has a lot of miles.. I hav a 98 f150 4.6 and all its ever had is non-synthetic 10w40 and it has 270k now on original engine and trans. Still running great!
and here i am changing my oil on my 2003 f150 once a year and putting seafoam in it every 3-4 months just to keep it clean but man i just hit 290,000 miles on it last week and shes rough but it refuses to die
Haven't seen a 5.4 with the oil filter right next to the oil pan. My 2001 has it sideways right above the front differential. My brother's 98 it's right behind the front bumper on the driver's side.
@@keegenm.6154, yeah, and you can barely fit an oil filter wrench to get it loose. It's also tricky to get the new one to catch the threads on the engine.

I own a old DNR 2003 F150 XL. Got 275k miles dunno how many hours. Runs like a top. Sadly needs new oil pan gasket which plan on doing mine is 4x4 a/c even still works.
Did a good job, I would’ve ran some sea foam in it before the oil change and take it up the road and back to really let it clean any kind of build ups and shit.
If he drinks a little oil after a bit of mileage on these 5.4s. They tend to not use as much of a thicker oil, and some lucas unless i have been lucky with most of the ones i been around.

I wouldn’t do the high mileage oils unless it’s leaking. They have additives that will help the gaskets/seals swell to minimize leaks. Over time you may have leaks if you go back to a non high mileage oil. I’d run 5w-30 all day in that engine.

@@mattsgaming4276 that’s untrue. Manufacturers get charged less for CAFE taxes for better mileage. 0.2 mpg over tons of vehicles is worth lots of money.

For anyone on a tight budget: You don't need an oil filter wrench, you just need a wrench with good grip.
Didn’t know a filter wrench was even necessary. Just do it by hand
Or stab a screwdriver through it and twist
