This bad boy finally came in, should take about 10 minutes to do an oil change now. I don't even bother putting the truck on ramps, throw a pair of coveralls on, in and out.

Pennzoil Platinum syn goes on sale for about $25/5L. $10 for a wix filter.

They could help, and won't hurt, so it's a safe recommendation.

Yeah thats why im doing it. Im doing an extra 2 oil changes a year so for the extra $100/year its no biggie

Can you share the link to that? Looks like you just put a hose onto it to drain? I literally just did an oil change yesterday and for the first time i lost my grip on the plug and it spewed everywhere for a couple seconds, had a sheet of plywood down but it still got on the driveway

UPR just recently released it. Me being an idiot, I bought the wrong one when I first got the truck. You want 3025-02, which I've linked below.

I would buy direct off UPR, painless and ships via USPS.

You can just show up but with no appointment the wait can be nasty, even with an appointment its about an hour.


This is just from what ive read on the ford forums but if you have the 3.5 EB you should be changing it way sooner than that, most say around that 5-6k mark.

Well, I have the 2.7EB, 3600km, and 6 months, so I think I'm okay. Dash shows oil life at 57%.

Isn’t an oil change at ford like $60?

Is jiffy lube any cheaper than that?

This go around I ran mine until it told me to change it (14k km for shits and giggles).

Oil came out black. Testing the new drain plug and pouring about 500ml through, the new oil was getting contaminated and was quite dark coming out.

Thinking I may do a short interval this time to see if that helps clean up the inside at all, and then going back to 10k km intervals.

I must had my price wrong but yea. That.

[ExtraSlow]

Next guy who gets "the works" check the duration. Be shocked if that was under 2 hours.

where are they offering it? i cruised a few websites, and couldn't find it.

[ExtraSlow]

The quick lane at cam Clark does. Thought it was every Ford dealer, they advertise on the radio.

it might be. I just didn't find it on Woodridge, universal or advantages' websites. gonna check cam clark now. If they include a detail, even a shitty one, that's actually a pretty good deal as long as it is a fully synthetic oil change. I only use Mobil1 or penzoil fully synthetic for my changes.

Im at 6 months, 7500kms, and am at 51%...

[ExtraSlow]

I can't imagine that detail is more than one pass through an auto car wash, and the oil is probably not synthetic.

[suntan]

Synthetic in a turbo engine is always good.

Also towing does a number on oil.

I think its like +$20 for synthetic.

After having drove around with my SCT BDX programmer with 5star tunes, highly recommend and wish I had done it sooner.

Shifts like you would expect an auto to, hits a peak of 18psi on 87octane, torque converter lockup timing really helps with less clunks and bangs and generally smoother operation.

Even got rid of the dreaded "push under braking" that afflicts these trucks, drove me nuts.

Going to try the E50 tune at the dragstrip on Friday hopefully, I'm told almost 450whp.

They do fully synthetic as that’s what I get. I haven’t asked for a detail but they give me a car wash coupon every time I do the quick line and wash it every time it’s in for a service. Quick line is about 30 minutes.
