I have a 2012 Ford E-350 12 passenger van with a 5.4 gasoline powered V-8. I have been using Mobil 1 (5w-20 extended life) recently, other brands of full synthetic since I bought the van on 2013. I use Fram ultra synthetic filters.
My question is this: The oil change indicator just came on. I only have 2,500 miles since my last change, and my intuition tells me that it is only coming on because 6 months have elapsed since my last oil change, and I am good just to reset the light and change at a more reasonable interval.
I would appreciate whatever thoughts, opinions, or insights anyone would be willing to share about ignoring the OCI indicator.
Thanks!
