Hi Ben,
I believe this is associated with the ROW Diesel engine. Not the North American 2.3L I change my own oil even with my creaky old 71 year old body crawling under the truck. I was draining the oil when my darling little Wifelet and I had an emergency phone call from our daughter. I came back to the vehicle about 30 minutes later. Wiped the drip at the bottom of the oil pan, put the oil drain plug back and tightened. The a second phone call from the daughter....another half hour...sigh!.
Put in 5+ quarts into the motor as I filled the filter with oil before installing. Cranked up the motor....no problem.... As they say in Australia... "No Worries!"
Best,
Phil Schilke

Shoot, I'm getting ready to do my 4th oil change on my truck and i have never heard this. I have a 2019 and just about 20k. You should be fine. If anything I just recommend you do it every 5000 and you should be fine.
