Speaking of first oil changes, when should I do my first oil change? I heard it's good to do it at 1200 miles?

Click to expand...

you probaby have some metal shards since the motor has been breaking in. so it wouldn't hurt to change the oil around 12-1500 miles with the normal motorcraft 5w-20.. Once you hit 5-10,000 miles I would switch to full synthetic if you care a lot about ur car.

hmm.. i first changed mine when it hit 1000 exactly. I put in 5.5 quarts and it still look pretty low. So, I pure the whole 6 qts in there. No problem

planning on switching to full synthetic once it hit 9000
