Break In Oil

[TSimo]

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

3000 for my new GT. Oil was still clean looking. 10 quarts Mobil 1 - a lot of oil for a car motor.

I did mine at 1000 and I’ll be doing it every 3000 after that. Cheap piece of mind

I did mine at 1,200 miles and switched to full synthetic.
