That's a long way in a fully smog burdened modern diesel without bypass filtration.

If they included language saying that there is in fact break in oil that should be left in for x amount of time that would be one thing, but being that it's uncertain I chose to do an early first change.

The manual says to change it when the oil life monitor says so, it also includes some examples of when that might be. That 7500-10k might be what they say you can expect from normal use, I personally think that is too long. They also say not to exceed 1 year or 10k miles.

Hmmmm…. We’ll then that’s the key for me. Is there or isn’t there a special oil additive from Ford at delivery???

let me remind you that the people writing your service book are the same people that gave you axles with tubes that crush, death wobble, tail gates that unexpectedly open on their own, fuel filters that catch engine bays on fire along with a host of other racalls and tsb. if the vehicle gets through the warranty period , even just barely ,thats what they care about. besides that, maintaining a vehicle includes alot more than just engine oil changes. alot of people will never once get under the vehicle and check for leaks or worn parts or take any other preventive maintenance steps.
its not just a jab at ford. other vehicle manufacterers are no better about the maintenance intervals. do you think the brilliant engineers care one bit if that vehicle is still in good running order at 200k or 300k. hell no they dont care. owners have to take matters into their own hands

Second, even I don't care if the truck is in good running order at 200k or 300k. I think the majority of first owners will never get past 100k. Furthermore, I don't think doing the initial oil change at 1k or 2k will make a meaningful difference in the engine going for 200k miles. There are too many other factors involved.
Of course, this is just my opinion.
