10K mile oil change intervals
Ford Announces New Engine Options for 2011 Ford F-150
This is going around the 2009 F-150 forum right now. I just want everyone to be informed that the new engines have a 10K mile oil change interval.
It seems that most dealers are still stuck on 3K, 5K and 7.5K changes as that's been the norm in years past.
Be informed and don't waste your money or your time.
If your towing then you'll need to follow the intervals for severe duty, that goes without saying.

Once I get my new one, I'll most likely go back to using Mobil1 syn and continue with a MC filter.

Wow - I guess I am getting old as well to make that subtraction error!
They always say the first thing to go is the mind.. lol Funny thing though, I can still picture the day that the fairmont was bought like it was yesterday...

heh... what gets me is that I looked right at that post, read the numbers, did the math, and didn't see anything wrong with it until you pointed out that slight error... so, in summary, I must agree with your premise that getting old is indeed a female dog.

I think people should do what ever makes them feel comfortable, after all, it's your investment.

When I ran MC 5w-20 in my 6.8l I got a UOA after 3k miles and 5 months 21 days in use. The TBN came back at 2.6 which was low. The oil would have never made it to 10k in good shape. IMO Ford needs an actual oil life monitoring system with an oil level sensor in the sump. There are too many people out there that don't even check their oil levels. I'd recommend getting at least one or two UOAs with TBN if you plan on pushing the OCI up to 10k miles to establish a baseline under your actual driving conditions. A UOA with TBN is over $30 and I can change oil with MC oil and filter for far less than that though.
