Hi all,
I just bought a used 2021 Ranger which had about 4k miles on it. I took the car back to the dealer for an inspection (I was registering in a different state than the prior owner) and while it was there they reset the oil change indicator. Not sure why they did that, and I confirmed with them afterwards that they did not change the oil, but here we are. I guess it's a minor thing, and mistakes happen, but it's really annoying to me that they did this.
So now the car has almost 5k miles on it and the oil life says 100%. I think it was around 80% or so when I brought it in. I was wondering how many miles people usually need to change their oil for the first time. Is there any downside to my changing it at 5k miles so I know it's done?
