Another reason to do your first oil change early as I was doing today at 2500. The tiny oil filter that the truck ships with for some reason.

So it doesn't rip in half dealing with the over-torqued install!

Perhaps too - slightly dirty causes more filtering.
Since so many like OilGeek - he's commented on that, recently I think for Taco 1st filter change, though oil done 2 times I think.

Imagine all those who bought/picked-up from Granger Ford in Iowa then drove home to like Florida after they got the keys. All those Mavericks are DOOMED!
Oh Lord, mine is one those........... GA though is not quite as far as Florida😝

Yeah, I think a gorilla put my filter on, had to struggle for about 10 mins to get it off. I was hoping I wouldn't rip it in half.

Anyone that pollutes their Bourbon with Coke, should be flogged.

Just sayin'.

On the original topic, I did my first oil change at 5k. I was intending to keep this interval, but the more I read, the more I am considering just obeying the all knowing OLM.
Glad you guys are saying g Bourbon, it Whiskey! Being from KY MUST be bourbon, whiskey word a no no.

My break-in period has always been. Get in the vehicle and drive it. With two expiation a 1977 Subaru Brat with 300,00 miles and a 1991 Dodge Dakota 4 Cylinder after 110,000 miles, the vehicle wears out, before the engine dies.
