Does anyone know when you should do your first service?

the 8,000 k is correct. not sure what the 12,000 k is, but you are recommended to do an oil change every 5,000 miles (8,000 k). I personally would change the oil within the first 1,000 (1,600 k) to 2,000 miles (3,200 K). My oil was disguesting at just about 1,000 miles.
also, highly recommend 5w20 Motocraft Semi-Synthetic oil and the Motorcraft fl-820s filter
btw, your sig is outdated.

I have a question along this line. Has anyone switched to 5-30w, or 10-30w oil? My truck is gettng close to 55,000 miles, and I'm wondering if 30w wouldn't be better, especially during the hot summer months??

No but I could use another one as the 3 I have dont run.
I also (well the wife does) have a 97 Explorer thats still running but sounds like a tin can.
The 2008 is my sons new truck and hes working and asked me to check out the servicing for him.
I was reading the manual and the first place to make a entry is at 12000 kms.
