Question for low mileage folks - if the oil you use has high corrosion inhibiting factors why drain it early?

I believe the question was about gas V10 engines.
And I didn't read anyone mention the mileage they changed at. :h

Getting rid of the old oil is such a chore in WA that I gave up on changing my own. For once a year or 7500 miles (on the car) and once a year on the RV, it's not worth the mess and hassle to me to DIY.

I use Castrol Edge synthetic with Wix filters.

Motorcraft filters and oil for me. I figure if its good enough for the design Engineers at Ford, its good enough for me.

Sticking with the Auto manufacterer's filter brand is one thing that i have not seen in the other posts so far. Wallyworld will sell you motorcraft filters for Fords, (as well as GM Delco filters for GMs). Just a personal pref of mine to use these.

Another Mobil 1 user (5w-40). I prefer to use the Motorcraft 820S filter but, if not available, I buy the Tough Guard Fram (TG2). Stay away from the cheaper Fram.

Don't forget a filter wrench and drain pan.
I take the old oil to the Auto Zone for recycling.

X2. Walmart charges $22-$24 for a 5-quart jug of typical weight Mobil 1 oil. You can barely beat that price for the cheapest dino oil, and there is no comparison between Mobil 1 and any dino oil. I've drive approximately 500,000 miles using Mobil 1 (not the same car) and have never had any oil related problems whatsoever.

A ford V-10 is the easiest oil change that I do myself. go to Walmart buy 6 quarts of Pennsoil 5W30 oil, and a Motorcraft 820S Oil filter. That's the filter # my 2000 v-10 calls for, adn the oil is 6 qts 5W30, dosn't have to be Pennsoil. If you driving last then 5 thousand miles a year, synethic oil is awaste of money. My 2 cents worth.

Advance Auto Parts Store brand unless there is a deal on name brand and 1 quart of Lucas Oil supplement. I should check prices at Sams Club after reading this thread though.
