Break in procedure

[20psirabbit]

The tech doing pdi will put that pedal straight to the floor before you ever drive it, so don't get too worked up worrying about this stuff. Lol

When do you guys normally do your first oil change? I've heard conflicting opinions, some say in the first 500-800 miles where others say at the normal scheduled interval.

I dont know about Ford but some manufacturers use break in oil and require it to be changed at the first normal oil change interval and not any sooner.

Motorcraft does offer a full synthetic oil. I had my Ford dealer use it for my oil changes, I plan to do the same with my 2017.

Really? When? I have never seen full on any shelves unless they somewhat recently came out with it?

I digress, just looked at fordparts.com, and there IS Full. Good to know, I like.

Yeah, I've never seen it for sale in stores, but I can get it at my Ford dealer. I had them use full synthetic Mororcraft oil in my 2012 Raptor, oil changes with tire rotation were around $80. It is available in both 5w-20 and 5w-30.

My shelby requires full synthetic Motorcraft oil.

My shelby requires full synthetic Motorcraft oil.

Right, mine too, but they never had it for sale in the stores for 5W50, so I always used Castrol and Mobile for my 5W20. I see now, they have Motorcraft 5W50 full synthetic too.

Dealer has always had full Synthetic, most won't do it because it's over $100 for the Raptor

I only use Mobil 1 Extended 5W-20

Specifically designed for Turbos and Superchargers.

I won't be breaking it in at all after watching the Ecoboost Ford F150 Torture Test.

Thank goodness they don't call for 3month or 3000 mile oil changes or my 2017 is going to need an oil change before it even leaves Dearborn....
