Probably stick to every 3k but we'll see.
@krog77, thanks for posting, how clean was the used oil after 3k miles?
Good job on the DIY. 3,000 mile intervals would be a waste. And +10,000 does not seem too smart either. With the 2007 Explorer I had the oil changed at 5,000 miles. With the new 2011 I am doing 6-7,000 miles. Full synthetic. First oil change was done at the 1,000 mile mark.
You’re welcome! Let me know if you have any other questions!Cory,
Thanks for the reply! That is helpful and I will wait until I see a notice in the instrument cluster.
