no I was semi-serious. it is a new vehicle with warranty. I remember somebody posting here that they had some issue with a non-oil change part and notified the dealer that they had changed the oil at what was 50 miles over the "required" distance, and they pounced on that and denied the claim under warranty.

I don't have a manual handy for the v-10 , but for other Ford engines, they also have a caveat about reduced oil change interval for heavy load ( that would be a motorhome) ,mountainous driving ( out west) ,hot operation ( out west/down south) Probably a CYA for them, but they do state it.
