Factory Engine Oil %

[Diverdown3]

I have 86k on the clock and very nearly at 3 k on the oil change from the dealer at purchase. The on board computer states my oil change has 71% life left. I do not trust that figure and plan to change at 5k miles and send to Blackstone for analysis. I'm new to Raptors but not new to turbo'ed vehicles. Due to the fact that most turbo vehicles are harder on engine oil and some use engine oil to keep them cool, I'm taking the more conservative approach and changing ahead of schedule. Spend more on oil changes, spend much less on repairs and downtime is my approach. Who agrees and who disagrees? All opinions welcome.

Your approach is correct, but with 86k on the clock it may depend on its service history. Do you have any records of its service history?

A Blackstone analysis would be a good starting point....

My BS analysis says 6200 miles max with Amsoil SS. I’m in extreme conditions - cold and hot.

I change mine at 5k miles.

I’m a full synthetic 5k’er myself. I suspect the truck doesn’t really have much of an algorithm to “predict” oil condition.This thread prompted me to go a head and order a kit for my 2020 with 69k on it.

Any medium grade synthetic (M1, penz, valvoline…etc) will do. This engine isn’t wild enough to require grasping complicated from the jaws of easy.
