A 10K OCI will get you past 360K

One owner 5.0L F150 truck, carfax shows a religious 10K service at the dealer. No evidence transmission fluid was serviced. No major repairs (unless done elsewhere).

I would say the 5.0L and 6.2L are not typical engines though.

Towed behind a motorhome?

Very interesting report. The owner was averaging 10k miles every three months. I would assume that would be easy highway mles, acrueing that quickly. That's a whole lot different than the average driver taking a year to accumulate 10k miles.. I would have liked to see an oil analysis from that engine's oil at the end.

First gen Coyote engine; PFI and large oil sump (nearly 8 quarts!)
Combine the above with high average annual miles (about 90 miles a day for 11 years!; probably a lot of highway driving?) ...

Not surprised at this, even with 10k mile OCIs.

Many highway, fully warmed up, low RPM miles, reliable engine (not turbo, not GDI, not HK). I don't see any obvious reason why the PFDI 3.5 in the Transit in my sig couldn't make 300K-it would just take 3 or 4 10R80 transmissions to get there!

It's not a true general statement though. That's 360k over 11 years. My 2005 work truck has 260k at 19 years of age and 10k oil changes would be double the OLM recommendation as it gets down to 0% at around 5k miles.

My 2002 Tacoma has 311K miles with 10K OCI since I bought it at 40K miles. Still doesn't burn oil in the 10K interval.

A more accurate title might have been "Changing your oil every 3 months will get you 360k miles" (not to mention with a known pretty good engine with an 8qt sump).

Carfax doesn't show everything. If the engine was replaced at a shop that doesn't report to Carfax, you would never know it. I mean, that Carfax just shows general maintenance done at the dealer. If the engine went out he probably got an estimate of over $10,000 at the dealer to replace and took it elsewhere.

Very true. A buddy of mine had a 2017 5.0L engine and he replaced it at about 60,000 miles. They said it spun a bearing. I do agree. the 5.0L Ford engine is a good one and mine has been trouble free.

CarFax does not cover everything. I would guess most Indy shops do not report oil changes nor do DIY. Bypass filter? Makeup oil?

I'm not even going to touch on the engine. However, no step shift automatic in a personal vehicle will make it to 360K miles without any service, let alone past that mileage.

I dunno, a highway cruiser that may have never been worked hard?

 

[irekm]

I wonder how many hours is on the engine, my 3.5 ecoboost has just over 6000h of running time, but only 150k miles on

 

[Stumpy]

Not surprising at all.

25k OCI's got my brother's 2011 Toyota Corolla past 383k miles. Amsoil and Napa Platinum filters.

He got rid of the car when he started having electrical issues (ignition) and A/C issues.
