Both the frame rail and under hood filters are different on the 17's. (I think the under hood one is different too but not 100% on that one...) You can see them on dieselfiltersonline.com.
Do you know if they still use that round style water separator filter like the 2016's? I watched a youtube video of a filter change and the housing was different than what I've seen people post on here. The new housing appeared to be rectangle on the bottom.
I did roughly 8500 miles before mine came up for a change. The oil system has all kinds of sensors in it. I looked at a few in ForScan. Very interesting stuff.
Any substantiation of this? You'd think they'd put it in the manual. I put 250,000 on my 00' 7.3 with nary an issue after doing the 1000 mile change. Hmmm.
Same here...
They do. Manual says to change the oil when the oil minder says to. I wouldn't change at 1000 but it's your truck and your $$$
Are you saying that Ford puts additives in with the initial oil fill? Or are you just opining?
I have seen no definitive proof one way or the other. Changing at 1k is wasteful and I trust the computer when to tell me. Can't deny warranty when you follow what it says. The days of 3k oil changes have long passed and is unnecessary. As I said earlier, it's your truck and your money but I wouldn't be doing it so fast

I dont see a part number for the under hood fuel filter on dieselfiltersonline.com. Only see the fuel/water separator
So I get this notice this morning. No biggie, just need to change my oil. But look at the odometer. 4,000 miles? That's pretty early isn't it? Delivery was 10/31 last year. I was planning to change at 5,000 but I guess I'll do it tomorrow. Because I do as I'm told.
3/4 tank and 312 MTE...damn son! My truck says like 580 at 3/4 tank.
