Time later today for an oil change on my 2014 F-150 with 3.5 Ecoboost. It will turn over 20k soemtime later today.
As you can tell it isn't driven a lot - usually within about 10 miles from home. Because of that the Ford OLM counts down pretty quickly with the percentage of life left.
Usually getting about 3k-3500 miles from it's fill before reading 'change oil soon' or 'oil change required. About once an OCI it seems like I'll need to drive it maybe 75-100 miles on a trip which should get a lot of the moisture burnt off I'd think.
This will be the oil change that goes through the winter to be changed sometime early Soring. Truck is garaged abotut 50% of the time. temps down to maybe 0 a handful of nights and coldest daytime single-digits to teens. Our coldest periods are short-lived and moderate into the 20's/30's daytime after a real cold snap.
That being related here are my choices today:
Pennzoil Platinum 5/30 Full syn w. Motorcraft FL-500S
Pennzoil Platinum 5/30 Full syn w. Fram Ultra filter.
Motorcraft Syn blend 5/30 w/ FL-500S or Fram Ultra.
