Ok. Here's the scenario:
2019 F-150 3.5L Ecoboost. 100K miles. I changed oil at 100,205 miles on January 23rd. I live in Montana and we've had some pretty cold weather (negative teens to negative 20's F.) I'm a short tripper. 1 mile to work. I do this 3 times a day. During the cold weather, when it gets to about 10 degrees F or lower, I remote start and idle for about 5 minutes. Occasionally a couple hour round trip out of town about once a month. When I change the oil the oil life after reset is of course at 100% and 7500 miles. I have now driven 438 miles. Of those miles there was one out of town trip as mentioned above. My oil life monitor now is at 82% and 4000 miles. So basically, it appears that I've done 3500 miles of wear in 438 miles.
I was thinking of going 3,000 miles for this OCI. But now I'm thinking shorter. What say you? (During the summer when I do more out of town trips, I do 4,000-mile OCI.)
(BTW oil is PUP 5w30 with Motorcraft FL 500s Filter.)
