Wouldn't hurt

Really think an oil change is needed that soon? I have 1200 on mine...but was going to wait till 1500 or 2k, but I know there's mixed thoughts on doing it soon or waiting till 3k or 5k due to how tight the motor is at the start...
I guess I'll do mine next weekend....

Engine break in is complete within the first 500 up to 1k miles. Best time for the first oil change, IMO, is just after engine break in. Then proceed to follow up with Ford recommended maintenance schedule.
