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...

I change mine once a year whether it needs it or not. I'm right at 9,000 miles now with 40% showing on my new truck but my year is almost up so it's time. I service and detail all my vehicles during the winter months. Gives me something to do so I don't go nuts.
Exactly what I do.
It was easy on my Accord, of which I did confirm via UOA's, the last having 14k on the oil over the last year. Report said...go longer. Yeah...14k....go longer. No top offs. Same M1 filter. No special oil. It was Quaker State syn from Menards.
But I had a hard time doing this on a truck motor that see's towing duty. So after a full season and 6k miles this year, 4k of which were actual towing of the TT, the UOA came back with TONS of oil life remaining. M1 5w-30 & M1 filter...with over 12k miles on it.
No more oil changes before 10k or one year for this guy. Towing or not.
