I just picked up my first new ride since 1997. I bought a 2015 F-150 Lariat 5.0 V8. It is the only engine family that calls for 5-20 as the remaining V6 power plants call for 5-30. So far (it's been 100 miles) I am thrilled.
I wonder how the electronic (no fluid) power steering will work out long run. I'm probably going to dump the FF engine oil at 3k and do an analysis. Something similar with the trans, front/rear diff and transfer case to get rid of the wear metals.
Anyone have info on the oil life monitor used in the 2015 year? I'm very interested to see how the OLM works.
Some advice needed: It has 200 miles on it and I am going to take it on a 700 mile trip (mostly highway) in a few days. Any break in concerns?
