Every 3,000 miles, sometimes it stretches to 5,000. I let the dealer do it for me these days but I still put a mark on the filter so I can check that they replaced it with a new one. (Old habits die hard!)

Every 3K with Motorcraft oil and filter. I worry about the filter more than the oil. Do the same in my 2001 F-150 (96,000 miles). Only 1 person has changed the oil in them both since new at the dealership and I have stood there and watched almost every one of them. I can't buy the oil and filter and rotate the tires for $29.95, so it goes to the dealer. I get coupons for $19.95 oil changes quite often in the mail too.

Planning on every 2500-3000 miles here--mainly becuase I work for Ford, and get the 5w20 syth. blend very cheap.

I use synthetic in the GT and change it about every 3500-5000 miles. I don't know what I'll do in my 2007 when I get it. I'll have to research.

hey do u guys change ur own oil or does like firestone do it for you?

if u do it urself is ur warranty voided...
change it yourself so you know's it done correctly and by someone who actually gives a crap (namely you)...keep your receipts just in case there's ever an issue. p.s. I'm doing mobil one 5w20 and mobil one filter every 3 mos/3K, and I'll duck out now because here come the "that's wasteful" posts lol...
I had an engine go on my 2000 E250 van & I didnt save my receipts & it cost me $1800. Just keep your receipts.
