Simple: recommended oil and filter for Gen2?

[Old-Raptor-guy]

Another oil thread? Great, needed another one like a gas mileage, tire, PPF does this prius make my ass look fat, thread. Ise the search function, there is a big oil thread with lots of info.

FWIW, I run Amsoil 5-30 SS at 5k mile intervals with a Ford filter.

@Old-Raptor-guy might give you some other information.

I am to worn out to do my standard reply, soooo. Change your oil often 5k max!!

I have owned mine one year 2 months, put 13700 miles on it and have changed the oil 4 times. I am confident I can get 250,000 miles plus.

One of my customers just sent his 2011 f150 3.5 ecoboost to the junk yard, needed engine. It had 301,787 miles on the original. So the engines are capable, the rest of the truck was pretty rough since it was a construction truck. Again says alot about Ford F150 and the ecoboost engine. It was only mildly taken care of, not neglected but not treated with kid gloves.

If you have the metal drain plug you may want to consider installing one of these if you have not already. Even removing the "REMOVE FOR OIL CHANGE" skid plate it still got oil everywhere once it lost pressure. They should have opened up that plate alittle more. Looking forward to the next oil change where I can attach the hose and drain it with ease.

F137N: Long Nipple Oil Drain Valve With M12-1.75

These valves have 15mm hose nipples in length. We recommend using these valves on industrial engines and vehicles with high ground clearance. *NOT RECOMMENDED FOR VEHICLES WITH LOW GROUND CLEARANCE.

I wait for the oil light to come on before topping it off. Sometimes 25-50, or 10-30w just depends what oil is the cheapest at walmart.

I mean, it's just like gas, no point in filling up till the low gas light comes on.

This approach might be ok for your lawn mower, but not a vehicle you rely on getting you around.

Change. Your. Oil.
