Good day, 2nd post here, my 2021 Ranger XLT is on the delivery truck, here in about a weeks time.
My situation:
I'm moving across Canada in the beginning of June (Vancouver Island to Ottawa Ontario), a drive of approximately 4500 km (2800 miles), and won't have time to do a gentle break-in. Hopefully have a 1000km or so on it before I head out. It is mostly flat highway once I cross the Rockies. Won't be towing anything with me.
My questions are:
1. Should I do a full oil change before I head out or wait until I reach my destination? Looking at going to Mobil 1 Full Synthetic.
2. Anything special I should watch out for during the break-in besides the usual? (no sustained cruise control, varying throttle, etc..)
3. Anything you can recommend on doing a long trip on a brand new engine?
I've driven across Canada/USA several times, but never with a brand new vehicle, so just want to make sure I don't mess up anything with the EcoBoost.
Cheers and thanks in advance!
