Recently purchased a 2018 Ford Transit with the 3.7 (This is a full size Transit, not the Connect). This vehicle will be driven mainly highway miles. I plan on going by the oil computer for oil changes which will put me near the 10,000 mile mark. I drive like an old man, even though I'm not and will not be towing or hauling significant weight. Most of the time I will be around 1,000 pounds or less.
I've been old school in the past. For a long time it was oil changes every 3,000. A couple vehicles ago I moved up to 5,000 (One of these vehicles has the oil computer but I ignored it).
I change my own oil, live in an apartment so it's a little tougher to get the oil changed. I look forward to the 10,000 mile service.
I've stuck with Mobile 1 in the past, but went ahead tonight and picked up 6 Qt of Mobile 1 Extended Performance 5W20 and two oil filters. I bought a Mobile 1 Extended Performance filter (M1-212A) and a Fram Ultra Synthetic Filter (XG10575).
My question: Does anyone have an opinion on my choice of oil or filter?
Thanks a bunch, first post y'all look like a good bunch of people with dirt under your fingernails like me.
