Would you change the oil?
I have a 2013 F150 ecoboost 4x4 CC. It now has 9900 miles on it. I always changed the oil in my 2004 F150, and other vehicles, at around 3000 miles. I know this is supposed to be a waste of money with...

Your vehicle is equipped with an Intelligent Oil-Life Monitor that determines
when the engine oil should be changed based on how your vehicle is used.
By using several important factors in its calculations, the monitor helps
reduce the cost of owning your vehicle and reduces environmental waste at
the same time. This means you do not have to remember to change the oil
on a mileage-based schedule; the vehicle lets you know when an oil change
is due by displaying OIL CHANGE REQUIRED in the information display.
The following table is intended to provide examples of vehicle use and its
impact on engine oil change intervals; it is provided as a guideline only.
Actual engine oil change intervals depend on several factors and generally
decrease with severity of use.
