Hello from San Antonio
Just purchased a 2012 f-150 from CARMAX, with 4500 miles on it, but no owner's manual. I've went online to HelmInc.com, but they keep saying they are out. Does anybody know how I can get one another way? This is a V-6 XLT, equipped exactly as I wanted (Super Cab). How often should the oil be changed? CARMAX reminder sticker says 7800 miles.

welcome and nice truck!!
not familiar enough with these new trucks to tell you for sure, but I am bound to say that 7800 miles seems like a pretty long haul to go without an oil change....I'd do it before then myself....

Welcome to the forum. Nice truck. Oil change intervals depends on type oil but i change my oil at every 5000 miles, Synthetic oils should be able to go about 7500 miles. I'm no expert tho and everyone is different on what they want. good luck.
