Guys, It is ok to have a civil discussion on the change intervals and whether you agree or not.
It is ok the discuss how you think Ford interprets the data.
Lets keep it civil and productive.

I'll let you guys keep the oil companies in business. I'll trade off the truck every 200k. and not because the engine is bad.

Not to throw spears at anyone and I am not sure of the complete rules on posting from other forums, but I read a post on dieselstop that says the new 2017 Ford Super Duty's require different oil, will try to find the post but if I remember right the Rotella 5W-40 is no longer good for the truck and others? Might be worth some Ford experts chiming in.

another thread on this forum had a pdf listed which I down loaded. I don't know where the link is.
search for this on Ford web site.

I tried and couldn't post a pic in the PM hence why I quoted Senix in this thread but you deleted that post.

On my previous gas truck I only changed oil like once a year. I always use full synthetic. I drive like 2-4k miles a year, only weekend outings and never towed or haul anything other than camping gear.
I got a 2017 SD Diesel now, and plan to keep the same oil change intervals. Annually.

Just went past 5,000 miles and made appointment for oil change next Friday with installation of console safe as well. Mostly highway miles and some towing but primarily not towing.
