If you are changing your oil now start doing it every 3000 miles if a daily driver and what ever the factory recommends if using for show! Just my opinion later J

Hardest part of changing the oil is getting it jacked up. It's 6 quarts of oil for the 4.6, and don't forget your oil filter. Motorcraft oil will probably run you 2.88 a quart at most local auto stores. Mobil 1, Royal Purple, and all the other synthetic oil will probably run you around $5-6. I didn't click the link, but the steps are pretty simple. I use a K&N filter with Royal Purple, I like how the K&N has a 1" wrench fitting to take the filter off, instead of using those pain in the *** filter wrenches.

Hey man,

+1. At least you took the time to ask, to get it right. Not everyone has been privy to what some of us consider "run of the mill" tasks....Shows you are interested in taking care of the Pony!
