akirby Posted October 15, 2023 Share Posted October 15, 2023 No such thing as break in oil nor does Ford recommend an early first oil change. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There' are free digital manuals available here: https://www.ford.com/support/owner-manuals/ Much more convenient than the booklet ones. They have manuals for most all Ford products going back ten years or more Edited December 3, 2023 by Chrisgb 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George C Posted December 5, 2023 Share Posted December 5, 2023 Diesel here. Full Syn. I change somewhere between 4k and 5k religiously. Oil is cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doyall Posted December 7, 2023 Share Posted December 7, 2023 I did an oil change to my 7.3 at 1,500 miles. Made me feel good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Itinerant1 Posted December 15, 2023 Share Posted December 15, 2023 7-9k mile changes. MC 5w30 oil & MC filters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sledz Posted December 21, 2023 Share Posted December 21, 2023 Watch "The motor oil geek" on youtube and you will never wait 7-9k miles to change your oil.. unless you lease it and don't care. I'm changing my brand new 7.3 oil at 1000 miles and then every 4k. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George C Posted December 29, 2023 Share Posted December 29, 2023 (edited) It still amazes me that the thought of counting the savings of single dollar bills for extending a cheap and superficial oil change on a 100k truck is a thing. I guess there is a detachment on a leased vehicle,, but as an owner, IMO, it’s part of being clean, healthy and proactive.

Boss Hog Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 I change first 1000 miles and every 5k after. I’m diesel but doesn’t matter either way or not to me. Fuel filters every 10k and with this worthless air intake Ford went with, new air filter once a week. Farm truck, it lives in dust Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adirondex Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 Mobil 1 full synthetic every 5,000 mi. I do it myself, gets me under the truck to look around to see if everything looks normal. The last time I thought finally it was going to be a clean oil change. All went well until I was measuring the final 3 quarts. Funnel slipped, oil spilled on the workbench. Small price to pay instead of having some kid that doesn't give a crap working on my truck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
