[QUOTE="zemuron99, post: 1435979, member: 26516"] Have to (partially) agree, I did my first change at about 1800 miles, and put in Mobil-1 full syn then, and have stuck w/it for changes #2 and 3 (only 18K miles so far). The first change I went to 50% on the oil life monitor (roughly 4200 miles), and the Blackstone lab report said my TBN (additives) were still well w/in limit at 3.4 (anything over 1 is still fine).. I just changed the oil again at oil life monitor reading 33%/6800 miles, waiting for the B'stone report on that one. I mostly do open highway driving, not a lot of city/stop and go, so your mileage may vary. Depending on this B'stone report on the wear metals/TBN, I may or may not go to 25% on the oil life monitor next time. Supposedly it is an 'intelligent' system, so it would vary oil life by driving habits, but I want to also stay on the conservative/change earlier than needed side as well. M-1 served me well in my Tacoma (185K miles, never burned a drop and ran smooth and quiet when I sold it) so I'll stick with that. Amsoil, Royal Purple, and the aforementioned Pennzoil are all probably fine as well. IMHO it's not which specific product you use, but that you keep it fresh and well filtered. Based on my B'stone numbers, 5000 may be a bit early. Wear metals (mind you on a still fairly fresh engine) were below unit averages (other EcoBoost averages) and the TBN was good. 10,000...not sure I'd go that far either, looking like around 7500 will be my standard. But to each his/her own preference, I'm not going to criticize either approach. I'm just finding out where MY comfort level is going to be with this engine. I did 5k changes on the Tacoma, but never did a Blackstone on it. This motor has turbos to keep lubed, and more than 2x power, so it's an entirely different animal, and I want PLENTY of cushion between when I change the oil, and when it (the oil) would have been 'exhausted'.
