Rolling Rolling Keep That Baby Rolling
10,100 miles and rolling right along. Great on oil. Great on tires. Good oil analysis coming back. Over 20 mpg. Love this truck. What else could a redneck ask for?

As long as you use API rated CI-4 it's ok. Do a search on oil change and read. It will take a while. You could help us out here 5moons, by measuring the oil that drains from your pan. Only replace that much and let us know how much oil came out.
Don't forget to loosen the oil filler tube cap and the oil filter before draining the crankcase so that all the oil that will drain out.
Upi might also consider installing a Fumoto valve. http://fumotovalve.com/

Why? The valve is well protected by suspension in front.

This valve is used across this country by many in the diesel industry.

Sad but true
If I were Ford it would be that way
