[QUOTE="Johnny O, post: 835936, member: 61743"] The oil change place just wants your money every 3000 miles. '08s call for an oil change every 7500 miles. That oil change interval is based on using Motorcraft Synthetic Blend oil, so with full synthetic Mobil 1 that will be fine. I do still believe in doing your first oil change on a new vehicle early. I do my first oil change at half the recommended interval with regular oil and then at the first recommended interval and after with synthetic. Using Mobil 1, going 7500 miles will be fine. I am using Mobil 1 0w-30 Fuel Economy Formula and a Mobil 1 filter, I will go 7500 this time and get a used oil analysis and see how it looks. Mobil 1 and K&N oil filters are somewhat better than Motorcraft or anything else although the Motorcraft filter is the best one for the money. FWIW, on my old '05 Trac I once tried Mobil 1 Truck & SUV oil and the used oil analysis came back awful and much worse than the one I had for regular Mobil 1. [/QUOTE]
