I plan on doing my first one around 1500 and switch to full synthetic. While under warranty - I won't have many miles but will still change out at the 6 month interval. No biggie to me, I really enjoy performing my own services on all my vehicles. After warranty is up, I will change oil & filter 5k intervals.

I change at 1,000 miles.. but today's engines are made in a much cleaner environment. with much better machining processes.....

I have been using synthetic oil since 1974... in everything ....
its the life blood of an engine...

my opinion and only my opinion..

but for my new generator.. I replace the engine oil at 1 hour of use.. not made the same.. and Yes to Synthetic oil.

I did my first change at 5000 miles. I switched to synthetic and I change every 5k. I'm at almost 24k on the truck now.

Did mine at 1000 miles also, with the same Motorcraft oil and filter as it came with. Then 5000 miles there after.
