What engine is this? I should think that you could go much longer than 5K on QSUD?
3.0 Duratec.
Manufacturer already says 6 months / 5000 miles on syn blend, so I'm stopping at 1 year for safety.
I also got my oil stash very cheap - free or a $ a quart. I don't change it myself and at the year mark there is also something else to do. So I take it to my mechanic who gets it up on the lift and does a good inspection at the same time as well as changing some other fluids I don't want to handle.
Btw, I go to one year, rather than 5k. Mileage can be more. My driving patterns are not fixed these days.
