RE: First Oil Change
Do it at 1000. Ford has started telling everyone that all their new cars only need 5000 mile oil changes but IMO thats just another way to sell more cars. Who ever heard of a 5000 mile oil change? Since the beginning of time it has always been the code of automotive honor to change your oil every 3000 miles. There is nothing special about these new motors that would allow you to break the code. The block in your car is just like any other 4.6 block. Change it every 3000 miles just like every car before it and youll never be disappointed. Also I would use the ford motocraft 5-20 synthetic blend oil for about 2-3 oil changes, then switch over to Mobil 1 5-20. Ford motorcraft oil filters are high quality and all I use.....

I believe Mobil sells 7500 mile oil now. Way back when the oil was not as good as it is today, so I think now a days its quite possible to go longer than 3k miles on an oil change when using full synthetic oil, although i still change it at 3k or in most cases sooner.
