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...

Manual also says 150,000 miles for transmission fluid change.
Or do you still service that by the old method of 12,000 or 30,000?
150,000 miles. That's nuts.
I also found this in the manual:
The OIL CHANGE REQUIRED message comes on at
28751 miles (46270 kilometers); perform the 30000 mile (48000 kilometer) automatic transmission fluid replacement.
So they reference an oil change replacement at 30K in one spot, but that's it.
Telling customers not to change the transmission fluid for 150,000 miles in a vehicle designed to carry significant loads that are likely to produce a lot of heat in the transmission seems like a toss up between incompetent and criminal. What am I missing?
