The question of whether to change FF early or not is probably one of the most polarizing topics on BITOG.
YES, another no win battle for both sides.
I agree.
There are UOA's of early factory fill oil change showed much higher wear metals so it is prudent to do so, and there are recommends by manufactures to keep factory fill for full OCI, owners who do so didn't suffer any damage to the engines.
So it depends on owner, if you like to change factory fill early go ahead do it, if you like to keep factory fill with high moly for full OCI, sleep well.
