OT, sorry, but was at the boy's lounge tonite. Several boxes of Rare Pinks had just landed and were decorating the back room.

Motorcraft FL500S Filter
I'd intended to wait until 10k, but I got to looking at the weather and my schedule for the next month and decided to do it a bit early. I'm sure 5300 miles won't hurt it next time
. This is the 3rd change on the truck.

Out & Off, Nulon 5W30 Synthetic Dex1-Gen2 oil & Ryco R2694P filter.
In & On, Valvoline Restore and Protect 10W40 synthetic API SP oil & Repco ROF 189-S syn blend media filter and new O-ring.
OCI = 11500 km / ~7150 miles / 9.5 months.
It's using around 1L (0.9 qt) per 6,000 km (~3750 miles). Let's see if the Valvoline Restore and Protect 10W40 makes a difference. The 6L jug is a good size as I still have about 1L remaining for a future top up.

Out: Whatever the dealer put in, prolly 5W30 Motorcraft Syn-Blend, filter was definitely Motorcraft.
In: Castrol Edge 5W30, Motorcraft FL2062A filter. Bottle says protection for 20k miles. It’ll probably see 3k.

onboard annual notice was down to 2 days. Even though I hadn't reached my self imposed 5k miles in one year (since I retired, don't commute), close enough since the monitor needs to be reset anyway. Doubt I'll run up to 70k miles this coming year.
