10K Oil Change Interval??!!

[SHO-Pa]

A little update - It looks like the OLM is telling me my intervals are 10k. I put about 1000 miles on the SHO from the last oil change and its at 90%...

The SHO will actually tell you when it needs an oil change based on 6 parameters it monitors... My first dialog to change appeared on the left hand LED screen at 1800 miles....
you can reset the oil life monitor.... it is a mileage based...
I know it's old school... I change every 5K miles... It's paid for in my ESP care Plus anyway until 70K miles

5-20 or 5W-30?

[crash712us]

That depends, what type of oil does your cars engine specify? Thats what you use.

[MeanKS]

the 2010 specifies 5W-20, at least thats what it says on the cap, but from 2011 onwards i think Ford changed the recommendation to 5W-30.

i don't see why it wouldn't apply for the 2010 cars as well...

If you want peace of mind and are going for a 10K OCI, change your filter at 5K.

My Audi had included maintenance.  The schedule was oil every 7.5k. Filter every 15k.

That was hard to take. I brought my own filter for every oil change.

I change mine every 6k, filter too.
Red Line 5/30 and OE filter

Not here... Oil and filter every 5 K... too dusty... have had the car ask me to change (which I did) at an 1800 mile distance once.  I still go Royal Purple, but also appreciate different conditions warrant different choices.

I change and rotate every 5K
