Hey all,

I'm wondering if I need to change my oil at 500mi or at 1,000mi?

Or, is break in oil not a thing anymore?

Thanks

I feel 1000 mi / 1600 km is a good time for the initial oil change, yes.

Break-in oil is not required for these engines. Follow the recommended weights in the owners manual.

There are a lot of great brands available. Select an oil that meets or exceeds Ford's recommendations.

Enclosed are some references I posted previously.

Change at 1000 or 1500. Use full synthetic from then on. Always remember enjoy your vehicle. Cheers 🍻
