oil change question
My 2013 Eco f150 just passed 60,000 miles and out of warranty. Thinking I will stop the dealer oil changes.
Question is on type of oil. Ford uses a 5/30 synthetic blend oil, motorcraft of course. Don't think the other shops I am considering carry it, although they might be able to get it. I haven't asked yet.
Years ago I always heard not to switch oils. Not sure how valid that is today or even if it ever really mattered.
Don't really want to go full synthetic. I get my oil changed every 5000 miles, about ecery 5-6 months on avg., even though the book says I can go as much as 10,000.
What do others do with their f150's? I know 1 answer already is read the manual, and I will do that. Just looking for opinions.
