What mileage are you changing your oil? 5K? 6?

The Ranger tells me when I'm drifting out of my lane, tells me when I am comming too close to something forward or backward, tells me when someone in front of me is slowing down, tells me when a vehicle is coming up from behind me , notifies me when a vehicle is passing me on either side.....16,000 km, as the book says. When I'll tow, will be 10,000 km for I don't know what reason.
Oh, if the truck says earlier, then it will be earlier....
I can spot sarcasm a mile away.....Good question. Surprised it hasn’t been asked before.
Personally I think that’s a bit to soon. When they build these motors they use synthetic greases with molybdenum additives among other things. As they break down they get absorbed into the oil. That circulates to all moving parts. Takes time for that process to work itself through. When you change this is lost for the most part. Knowing this I went to 3800 before first change. Can’t hurt!I'll be almost certainly doing it yearly, as I'm not likely to hit the mileage threshold. Although I am switching to Amsoil at about 800 miles.
I'm definitely not buying oil from a pyramid scheme.I'll be almost certainly doing it yearly, as I'm not likely to hit the mileage threshold. Although I am switching to Amsoil at about 800 miles.
I will be changing mine at 1k and filling with synthetic oil (have not selected which yet), again at 5k miles and then every 5k after. Will change filter at both of those initial intervals too. I get super cheap motorcraft filters at work and will cut them all open during the change and inspect so I can look for any premature wear.What mileage are you changing your oil? 5K? 6?
