I have a 2006 F150 with a 5.4L and 110k miles on it. My recent driving habits have changed. I drive it 1.5 miles to and from the train station during the weak. In the Upstate NY weather, the temp gauge doesn’t even move. I park outside too. On the weekends I don’t drive it much, maybe a 15 minute ride each way. There is the occasional 45 minute drive. I don’t think I put more than 2k on it now per year.
I’ve been running Pennzoil Platinum 5w20 and a motorcraft FLS820 filter with an annual change. Would I be better off changing more frequently and running just regular 5w20 dino oil? I know the short drives are hard on the oil. Maybe oil only changes with leaving the filter for annual only changes?
