Hey Forum,
Have a new 2017 XLT Explorer and the dealership states to have the oil changed at 8000km or 6 months.
I have always been of the opinion that you change the oil at around 1000km first off and then go to every 5000km. Thoughts? Should I be following the dealer's advice on this?
Also, the owner's manual states that 87 Grade Gas can be used by 91 Octane is preferred.
What do you guys use and is their a real benefit to going the more expensive route?
Thanks
Craig
