    What brand oil do you prefer to use and at what interval will you be doing it?

    I was using Indian tears, but that is now in short supply.

    Ford syn-blend. Wonder if the truck will finally have the IOLM system, my guess is it will.

    Whatever FORD recommends for this high performance version 3.5 is what I will use, and I will have the dealer change the oil until the warranty is up, just like the gen 1 , and then I will change the oil and filter myself.

    I was doing every 5,000 miles or after every hard run. Excessive, probably, but was peace of mind to know I always had good oil in her. Full synthetic 5W20 Redline oil with a factory Ford filter.

    I was at 5k using FoMoCo parts while under warranty but I've since pushed it to 7k with Mobil 1.

    My current Rap gets Redline every 3K. After break in, it'll be the same for the new one.
