Oil change interval - 3000 miles or go by computer?
Did a search but didnt find what Im looking for
I got an oil change yesterday, regular 3000 miles (actually just a little over 3k this time)
When I go to reset the oil change indicator, it still says oil life is at 30%
So.. this makes me question...
Do you guys change the oil every 3000k?
Or do you change it when the computer says?

3000 mile oil change hasn't been necessary since the 1940s...
Ford recommendation is 7500 for the '08 and later (I recall) and 5000 for the '07. Not sure why the difference, the engine is exactly the same.
Changing oil too often just wastes your money. Get an engine oil analysis if you think necessary. Major truck fleets don't change the oil until the analysts says to.
Computer reset for mileage is in the manual somewhere. Defaults to the Ford recommendation.

No reason really. Ford went along with what other makers had moved towards. Same engine, oil and filter. No need to change it at 5000.
