I have a coworker who is picking up a new F150 with the 5.0 soon and I’ve been talking to him about the break-in procedure. I received advice from a tribologist to switch to Valvoline Max life synthetic blend 5w-30 after he dumps the factory at 500 miles and run the blend for 1k miles before...

Hello, Checking in to see your opinions. New Tucson hybrid few weeks old. Extracted the factory fill at 600 miles and replaced with PUP 0w-40. I was planning on doing another extraction / refill before a traditional oil change at 5k. Also considering a 30 over a 40. Mobile 1 Euro better than...
