Oil change indicator
Sorry for the dumb question but is there an oil change indicator on a 17 F250 Platinum (Diesel)? I bought the truck in Late Feb and put roughly 5700mi on it since so I would assume its due or close to being due an oil change. I went through the dash menu and never saw anything about Oil life etc.
Thanks!

Scroll to the truck screen then down to maintenance.

On my '19, I have the 4" color dash and the % oil life is in the vehicle settings menu (I don't use any mobile applications for the truck). That's where I can manually reset it also. I had to turn the % DPF function on using ForScan and I've never seen or heard of anything having to do with the air filter. If you have the lower trim screen or the higher trim display, it could be in a different spot.

Not related to oil life, but your avatar looks like you've got way too much tongue weight. Might need to change the trailer rollers and such to shift the boat further aft.

It will also remind you to change the oil 12 months after the last oil change reset.

on my ford pass app it indicates that in april of 2022, at 6600 miles my oil will be due to be changed.
i am at 63% of oil life left according to the truck and the ford pass app. 6600 is short of the expected change interval. but i planned at 5k anyway
i did have to add a pint last last week if it matters
