[QUOTE="pbtjrlmrt, post: 1395720, member: 31858"] Well sort of but not....more mis information. Ford does not use any special kind of break in oil. You're correct that they test and that a break in period is necessary but you are wrong about the numbers. 500-1000 with original oil(Ford uses regular syn blend at the factory) is enough to break in an engine. Ford knows this but doesn't say to change it after 500-1000 cause it's not "necessary" having said that it's also true that most of the metal in your oil will come from the break in period so changing it after 500-1000 could be beneficial for **** truck owners like myself. Ford has a 5k scheduled change depending on how you use the truck to the 10k isn't necessarily the correct interval. Ford doesn't test their motors for million mile ownership. In summary I think it's reasonable to change after 1k miles and going to full synth will give you more margin for error depending on how you drive the truck. 5k intervals is also reasonable depending on how you drive the truck and again...gives you more margin for error.
