First Oil change advice?

[RB205]

Personally I'm going to do 1000, 3000, 6000, 10000, 15000 and then every 5000 afterwards.

Probably run full synthetic. There's no reason not to these days. Semi synthetic is great for older high mileage motors that would leak full synthetic.

Leave the dino oil for the two strokes and racecar breakin maintenance.

FWIW....I plan to do mine at 1000 miles, then at 5000 on the odometer. After that...5k miles intervals with Pennzoil Ultra Platinum. Many Ford techs have stated, and made videos, saying that is their preferred oil and change intervals.

Same. It's the only true 100% synthetic oil out there. Everything else is a blend, even if it's majority synthetic, enough to be called "full synthetic"

I think Amsoil would like to argue that one.

Oil breaks down depending on driving conditions and driving habits. Getting an oil analysis done is the only way to know the condition your oil.
What other people do isn't just like comparing apples to oranges, it's comparing apples to orange trees.

All good info , and will probably not follow any of it just because. Just going to enjoy the truck.

Update on my end. I had 3-4 metal flakes in the oil filter at 1000 miles. Glad I did an early oil change. Next one comes up at 3000.

I'm going to do the axles and the transfer case at the same time since these are commonly underfilled from the factory. Also gonna run 75w140 in the rear axle since that's what Dana recommends: Ford just specs thinner 75w85 for fractionally better fuel efficiency.
