Hey all. I take delivery on my new 5.0L F150 Saturday. Never owned a new vehicle. How much of what I hear matters and how much is snake oil from a long time ago? I'm thinking that I will drive it normally (some city some highway no extended idling no drag racing ect) for the fist few weeks then chance the oil somewhere around 1000 miles and be done with it. is there anything Im missing? after that oil change it will be every 6 months since I don't go 7500 miles in that time span. opinions?
No towing for the first 1000 miles. Otherwise no need to think about it. I've had my f-150 for 4 months and 4000 miles. I towed my small TT 150 miles at the 800 mile mark on level ground. No oil change yet... display shows oil at 61%.
