I'd suggest going through your owners manual; which tells you how to determine when to change it and what oil to use.

This site has been incredibly valuable from the moment I started even considering a Maverick (which was a while ago). Finally made it happen and picked up my 2025 Lariat Hybrid with 4k tow in Ruby Red. I know it's the honeymoon period, but just love this thing.
It's replacing a great...
