    I think so
    Can is even. Quiet with your not throttling down and helps stereo sound better IMHO

    Me happy

    Hey,

    I'm out on the road, up in Chicago currently. When i get back it's going to be time for a oil change, what dealer did you go to? Would like to have them shut off the fake exhaust too.

    Doing my first oil change next week, it will have 5k miles and I will most likely stick with that interval. Also, as far as type of oil, I will be going with the Ford dealerships fully synthetic.

    thats a good point on side that box about the filter. does the filter Ford stealership put on good for 10k miles. the oil might be but is the filter ? i just at 3k miles but plan on 5k change since i been driving this thing hard. i try to break the land speed record between starbucks stops and red lights. and been at the limiter for a few 3-4hr road trips.

    A few thoughts:
    • The engine runs on a synthetic blend meaning it's not 100% synthetic. Is there a risk of running fully synthetic?
    • Based on Normal driving the the truck will calibrate the oil change life to about 10k. Based on that, why would Ford put on a filter that couldn't run to that point? This was a good catch but i think it's more a marketing tug at your need for something that you already have.

    I saw a test a while back where a guy cut up a bunch of filters, if anybody wants to look for it the results were shocking.
