Yes, the comma is in the right place and there isn't a zero missing.

Have a 2020 Lariat Crew that we purchased in mid January 2020.

Circumstances obvious to all have kept it pretty much garagebound since it arrived there.

Wondering if I should be considering an oil change based on age even with the LOW mileage.

Pretty sure that if I call the dealer, he's going to say yes, but there are no other issues that would require a trip to the dealer.

Looking for a consensus from a crowd I'm more likely to trust.

Thanks

I was in a similar situation a few months back. Took mine in for an oil change when the Ford app told me it was time, which was about the one year mark. Paid with Ford Pass points so nothing out of pocket, and it let me reset the clock so the rest of my points don't expire.

Just took my 2020 in at 3200 miles. Wanted to start fresh. Luckily my first 3 changes are free and I didn't know that. Pretty good day.

I always do my first oil change around 2000-3000 miles.

If it’s going to continue to sit I would fill the tank with fresh gas and add a little sta-bil as well. Gas goes bad quick and the ethanol really doesn’t help.

As others mentioned change the oil as well.

I got my first oil change at 1,700 miles. Because that was all I had on it at 6 months.

My second oil change was about 4,000 miles. Again, six month mark.

I'm up to 5,700 miles, but at this same pattern I will have an oil change in September based on 6 month mark.
