[QUOTE="RDJ, post: 11860379, member: 5905"] most manufacturers have a set time and it is in your owners manual. Personally when I bought my 2012 Focus I changed the oil at 2500 miles and again at 5000. the next one will be at the dealer recommended intervals. I had it done at a dealers the first time because I was travelling and didn't want to do it in a hotel parking lot. The service writer was like "but it's not time" and I said yes it is and if I am willing to pay why do you care? LOL. bottom line it is not necessary until the dealer specified mileage and you are spending money that is unnecessary doing it before hand. but peace of mind is worth a fair amount. as far as the which oil, use whatever Ford says to use. Mobile 1 is always a good, if more expensive, choice. [/QUOTE]
