oil change
2017 Ford F 150 when do I get first oil change

There's been lots of discussion about this. Check your Owner's manual -- it probably says it's due at 10,000 miles or when the Oil Life Monitor recommends. There really is little to no end-user break-in for modern engines. They are almost all run-in at the factory before being installed.
But I think most people are still making their first oil change early, just for peace-of-mind (and maybe old habits that die hard). I do my first change around 3,000 miles, and still can't bring myself to go beyond 65-75% of the recommended mileage for subsequent changes, even if my usage has been pretty mild/normal. |
At some point before 10k miles.
I think a lot do it around 3k, some even earlier. I did my first change around 3500 as that's when I was in the shop working on other projects. I'm at 12.5k now and will do it in the next day or two (though I've been saying that for a month). |
I change at 6k just to keep it in order with my tire rotation and that is seriously the only reason I change it then. |

Forget the owners manual and forget the oil life monitor!
Take this advice from a 6 year old ecoboost owner who has replaced two timing chains. Change your oil after the first 2000 miles then every 3500 after that... and read up on the link above! |

Did my 2017 2.7L at 98xx the first time, then 198xx the second time. First time with Mobil 1 and a k&n oil filter cartridge (no one had the motocrafs in stock). Second time with penzoil ultra platinum and a ford oil filter cartridge. I go by the OLM and keep my receipts and maintenance logs.
