I will be changing the oil in my newly acquired Crown Vic this weekend and need some input on the right interval to use. I will be using Mobil 1 5w-20 and a Motorcraft FL-910s filter exclusively for the life of this car. I looked down the oil filler hole and the internals are absolutely spotless. The engine has no visible varnish. The car has about 62k miles and is the police package. It holds 6 qts of oil.
I want to run 5000 mile intervals, but was wondering if I should shorten the first oil change with the Mobil 1 just in the slim chance it cleans things up a bit. As a side note, I think these 4.6L engines are fairly easy on oil.
What do all of you think?
