2022 Ford F-150 Maintenance Schedule & Costs

This 2022 Ford F-150 maintenance schedule is organized by mileage and time, combining Ford’s normal/severe-duty guidance with common real-world owner service patterns (especially for towing, idling, dusty roads, and short-trip driving). Costs below reflect typical U.S. independent-shop pricing (dealer pricing is often 15–40% higher) and common owner-reported invoices. Key notes: - Intervals are shown as mileage OR time (whichever comes first). - Many items are “inspect/rotate” at set intervals, with replacements based on wear. - Trucks used for towing/hauling, lots of idling, off-road, or extreme heat/cold should follow the shorter end of each range. Cost assumptions (typical): - Labor rate: $120–$180/hr independent shop - Oil capacity varies by engine; prices assume full synthetic - 4x4 adds transfer case + front diff service items

Do these routinely, and at every oil service. Owner/DIY checks (monthly or every 1,000–2,000 miles): - Tire pressure + tread wear: $0 - Washer fluid top-off: $3–$8 - Check engine oil level (especially during break-in/towing): $0 - Check coolant reservoir level: $0 - Check exterior lights, wipers, horn: $0 At every service visit: - Multi-point inspection (fluids, hoses, belts, steering/suspension, brakes): $0–$50 (often included) - Brake inspection/measurement: $0–$30 - Battery test: $0–$25 - Tire rotation (if not bundled): $20–$40

Most 2022 F-150 owners report settling into a 5,000–7,500 mile oil interval even if the Oil Life Monitor stretches longer—especially with towing, idling, or short trips. Service items and estimated costs: - Engine oil + filter (full synthetic): - Interval: 5,000–10,000 miles or 6–12 months - Cost: $70–$120 independent / $110–$180 dealer - Tire rotation: - Interval: every 5,000–7,500 miles - Cost: $20–$40 (often bundled free with tires) - Cabin air filter (replace as needed): - Interval: inspect around 10,000 miles; replace 15,000–30,000 miles (dusty areas: 10,000–15,000) - Cost: $25–$60 DIY / $50–$120 shop - Engine air filter (replace as needed): - Interval: inspect 10,000–15,000; replace 20,000–45,000 (dusty: 15,000–25,000) - Cost: $30–$80 DIY / $60–$150 shop - Wiper blades (replace as needed): - Interval: 6–18 months - Cost: $25–$60

This is where severe-duty use starts to separate your costs (towing/hauling, frequent 4x4, mountains, heat, lots of idling). Service items and estimated costs: - Brake fluid (flush recommended): - Interval: 30,000 miles or 3 years (earlier if heavy towing/mountain braking) - Cost: $120–$220 - Wheel alignment (as needed): - Interval: check with uneven tire wear or after pothole impacts; commonly 15,000–30,000 miles - Cost: $110–$180 - Front/rear differential fluid (4x2 usually rear only; 4x4 front + rear): - Interval: 30,000–60,000 miles (severe towing/4x4: 30,000–45,000) - Cost: - Rear diff: $180–$320 - Front diff (4x4): $160–$300 - Transfer case fluid (4x4): - Interval: 30,000–60,000 miles (severe: 30,000–45,000) - Cost: $140–$260 - Spark plugs (engine-dependent; see 60k section for typical): - Interval: usually 60,000–100,000 miles; inspect earlier if misfires - Cost: (see 60k section) Common owner-reported wear items in this range: - Brake pads may still be original at 30k with mostly highway driving, but towing/city use often needs pads 25k–45k. - Front pads/rotors (if needed): $350–$750 pads only; $650–$1,200 pads + rotors - Rear pads/rotors (if needed): $300–$650 pads only; $600–$1,050 pads + rotors

By ~60k miles, most owners start budgeting for driveline fluids and “big-ticket” maintenance if the truck sees towing or severe conditions. Service items and estimated costs: - Automatic transmission fluid service: - Interval: 60,000–100,000 miles (severe towing/hauling: 45,000–60,000) - Cost (varies by method): - Drain & fill: $250–$450 - Fluid exchange: $350–$650 - Tip: Avoid aggressive power-flushes on high-mile units; a drain/fill is common. - Engine coolant (replace): - Interval: 100,000 miles or 5 years typical; many owners do 60,000–75,000 if towing/hot climates - Cost: $180–$320 - Spark plugs (typical ranges by engine family; verify your exact engine): - Interval: 60,000–100,000 miles - Cost: - V6 EcoBoost (common): $250–$450 - V8 (5.0): $220–$400 - Coils are usually “as needed” (misfire), not scheduled. - Serpentine belt (inspect/replace as needed): - Interval: inspect at every service; replacement commonly 60,000–100,000 - Cost: $120–$250 - Fuel system cleaning (optional, condition-based): - Interval: 30,000–60,000 miles if symptoms (rough idle, mpg drop) - Cost: $120–$220 Expected total at ~60k (typical scenarios): - Normal use (oil/filters + maybe brake fluid): $200–$500 - Severe/towing + 4x4 fluids + trans service: $900–$1,800

If you plan to keep your 2022 F-150 past 100k, the schedule becomes a repeating cycle of fluids, ignition components, and wear items. Service items and estimated costs: - Coolant replacement (if not done earlier): - Interval: 100,000 miles or 5 years - Cost: $180–$320 - Differential + transfer case fluid (repeat): - Interval: every 30,000–60,000 miles depending on severity - Cost (4x4 all-in): $480–$880 - Transmission fluid (repeat): - Interval: every 60,000–100,000 miles (severe: 45,000–60,000) - Cost: $250–$650 - Spark plugs (repeat if 60k interval engine): - Interval: 120,000–160,000 miles if first set at ~60–80k (engine-dependent) - Cost: $220–$450 - Shocks/struts (wear item): - Interval: commonly 80,000–120,000 miles depending on load/towing - Cost: $900–$2,200 for all four (parts + labor varies widely) - Battery: - Interval: 3–5 years typical - Cost: $180–$320 installed Estimated maintenance cost planning (excluding tires/fuel/repairs): - 0–60,000 miles: - Normal use: ~$1,000–$2,200 - Severe/towing/4x4: ~$1,800–$3,800 - 60,000–120,000 miles: - Normal use: ~$1,400–$3,200 - Severe/towing/4x4: ~$2,400–$5,200 Big cost variables owners report: - Towing frequency + payload weight - 4x4 fluid services - Brake wear (mountains/city) - Tire type (all-terrain vs highway) and alignment
