Hi Everyone,
I bought this truck new and have serviced myself. 1 year old now. With direct injection, I was worried about fuel dilution and this is probably close to my worst case; seems like I did the right thing by changing when I did. 10k interval is a habit from past cars; a (hopefully) conservative round number I won't forget.
This is the 2nd Gen 2.7L with dual injection (port + DI), 10speed trans.
This oil was used from January to June (6 months). It had some pretty big payloads for ~1500km and another ~1000km worth of towing a light trailer. Lots of idling due to Canadian winter/spring. Mostly highway/rural roads with some city. Love the truck and runs good.
I am using M1 because it meets WSS-M2C961-A1 listed in the manual. Seems like I am changing at the right time; I'm not interested in extended intervals, just good long term ownership. Any and all comments about interval and oil choice are welcome. Hopefully it helps somebody else!
Change 1: Factory fill drained for M1 @ 5,000km
Change 2: M1 - 5,000km
Change 3: M1 - 10,040km M1 (this sample)
Motorcraft FL-2062-A Filters, factory air filter.
