WHEN is up to you. Ford recommends 7500mi.
Everyone has their preferences.
Every 3000mi is cheap insurance.

Now you can switch to full synthetic and change oil every 6 months.

That's just wasteful overkill [&:](unless you hit the track a lot)

3K regular oil. I've driven 3 vehicles into the ground that way (250K + miles on one of them) and my stang has 115K on it. Not a single internal problem.

every 3000 miles. The guys at Ford told me its better to do it every 3000 in florida because of the humidity, otherwise every 5000 is good.
