saw this on the counter when i went to ford today to question my exhaust bolt(s) that are missing....and get a FREE copper gasket for the leaking oil plug...

on the exhaust - the ser. mgr. saw me and ran - we tried to phone him, he had someone call back to the desk to say he was 'in a meeting'....:rant:dunno i left a note for him to call me - we shall see...

anyway, i found this and thought i'd list it for all to read on what ford is saying is the service schedules.... sorry, some of you old guys :sly may need magnifying glasses.....:sorry

Really??? under normal conditions a 6.0 is suspto go 7500 miles on the oil and the 6.4 is 10000. Man for the price of oil compared to engine parts, it seems stupid that they would tell ya to run it that long.

O and im 24 and thats a tough one to see, had to take my glasses off and hold the laptop just right but i got it

I agree on the 7500....... I see a difference at 5000, I would not want to go 7500, the 6.0 is way to hard on the oil............

well, today i drained all the oil and replaced the copper washer. it was shall we say a little on the deformed side. went and bought a NEW 15 qrt. oil pan w/ a pour spout and dumped it back into the truck. no spill or nothing...phew! :sweet if you were to pour a half cup of coffee and fill the rest w/ water - that is what the oil looked like.....not saying it was full of water but that is the look.....much unlike when you drain it at 10k+ miles it looks like liquid tar....................:lmao
