I am now running this in my 2011 Ranger with 2.3 liter engine. Will this oil give me good service over the life of the engine with 3000 mile OCI's?
thanks

Why so short? Because he's the oil change guy!
Seriously, I bet Ford even recommends 5k change intervals.

3000 is way overkill for that oil.
First of all, whats the owners manual recommended change interval??
and is that interval with conventional oil??
If it is only recommending conventional, then this oil is more than up to the task of going right up to the change interval given by the manual. Doing this will both keep your warranty in tack and will provide your engine with a long healthy life, while saving time and money over 3k changes.
Enjoy the truck and don't worry so much

I think you meant 5k miles OR 6 months, because if someone drove 12k miles a year and changed oil every 6 months, they would be doing 6k mile OCIs, which is a bit tool long for a short tripper.

I've goten rid of most of my Castrol stash by doing oil changes for the in-laws over the past few months. I'll be building up my Pennzoil Conventional and Pennzoil High Mileage stash and will be using them in our vehicles. Pennzoil products really impress me. Go 5k and sleep well at night!

And run it at least 5,000 miles.

Good stuff for sure. I have a case of this I will be using soon. I go 5k on mine 50/50 city rural driving and my GF 09 2.4l Sonata manual says 3750mi. is severe and 7500mi. normal driving. I finally got her to go 4k on hers. I'm still working on her to go 5k
thanks all!
