I'd shorten the OCI and run a good synthetic 0w40 or 5w40 towing a 12K trailer.
7.3 Godzilla Oil Report - Freaking Out.

Only thing that would scare me is being sure Ford approves of the oil being used-knowing F, they probably want some weak sauce 5W20 or 5W30 in it...
Yep, they might be looking at another oil revision at some point to reduce warranty claims. IIRC that was rumored to have happened a while back, with a move from 5W20 to back to 5W30 in some of their engines. History often repeats itself.
He lost me after he said he gives his truck baths… like a puppy or something.
I just saw this-if someone wants to blow ~$100K on a 6.7 PSD just to have it break a crank at 100K, or a 7.3 eat a cam & lifters young (which will require complete engine teardown/replacement, metal gets everywhere), good luck to them. Or maybe buy a fleet of 6.0 PSD cargo vans, Transit Connects, and Transit 250s. Get back to me on that, I've personally spent months in a rental (fortunately on the company's dime) because Ford junk. Coming up on 27 years worth-I have SOME EXPERIENCE on this subject!
