Dads new to him 11 edge SEL is ready for an oil change. Think he has around 127 or 129k on it. When he bought it I used bulk 5w20 motorcraft and a motorcraft filter. He's gone 5K on it. I set the OLM to 50% so it would go off in 5K. I'm laid off Rn at Ford and he's on short term disability cause...
