First oil change

Just as I did in my 2017 diesel, I’ll be doing my own oil changes in my 2022 diesel.

I want to use synthetic. What’s everyone using? Does Ford have their own synthetic?

I’m doing the same. But I did get the dealership to change it around 1400 miles and keep the standard 10W30 conventional in it (finished using up the FP Reward points). Around 5k I did it myself. I then switched over to Rotella T6 5W40 and installed the Fomoto drain valve. I am also sticking with authentic OEM Motorcraft filters. I plan to stick with a 5k mile change interval and T6 if I can continue to get it. But yes, Motorcraft also has a full synthetic.

They have it and they are VERY proud of it...

Local O'Reilly's has it on stock for like $63, Insane.

FoMoCo has their own spec for diesel oils, basically Ford wants at least 1000 ppm of phosphorus in the oil.

Here is the approved list from Ford:

Rotella T6 and Valvoline Premium Blue are probably the two most common 5w40s and will both work just fine.

T6. If you have one, Tractor Supply pretty much always has it in stock and they will price match anyone/anything. (I've gotten them to price match eBay adds before even). I just got some with an Amazon price match so paid $89 for 4 gallons. Then with the current at the time shell rebate I got $30 mail in rebate. So $59 bucks for 4 gallons 👍.
