oil change
First oil change on my 2014 Ford Triton V-10 on F53 chassis. The manual says "SAE 5W-20 or equivalent". Should I go synthetic or conventional?

Usually when you put new rings you also change out the bearings, If not you will start losing oil pressure.
It's not a bad idea if you have to drop the crank or remove the rods to do rings. However, there are engines (both small and large) where the head and block are separate from the crankcase. Rings can be easily replaced on those engines without getting into the crankcase.
Check out the oil ring in the cylinder on the right (2 cylinder diesel):
I just replaced the rings and burnished the cylinders and it's been running fine for several years.
