I ususally do the first oil change at 1000 miles and then again around 3000 miles. There is a lot of wear metals in the oil during the break-in period and I like to get them out. The first oil change the oil will look like black metal flake paint.

I think I would go by the owners manual & do it at 6000 miles like Ford recomends.After that first one maybe every 7500 miles or a little more.
