Question for people that already have their Mavericks. My wife's 2015 Taurus has a oil life counter. It's been awhile since we had the oil changed and it's telling us there's still 30% to go. Question is do we have one on the Maverick, and are you using it or sticking to the 3 months 3,000 miles. This is what I found when I did a search online.

The Ford Pass App has an oil life monitor. When it's to the point it needs to be changed it will drive you crazy with pop ups. I go by the monitor in the app

The intelligent oil info is quite smart nowadays. It takes into factor, idle time, temperatures, load, and driving habits. In the owners manual it indicates that depending on your driving habits, they recommend different intervals, I’d stick to the what the indicator tells you. But if you don’t drive the full mileage follow the time frame recommendations. If you tow a lot and drive hard then your oil life monitor will adjust accordingly .

The price of repairs on the turbo motors I'd definitely change the oil and filter either 3 or 5 thousand miles and never over 6 months

When i worked at the ford dealer being in the prairies the DSM told us to use the severe duty service cycle due to our extremes in -40C to +40C and constant wind and dust. With modern oils i change mine now every 6000kms and haven't EVER had a problem.

I just go every 5000 miles regardless of what the app says. It usually shows I have something like 40% left because I mostly do highway/interstate driving. Oil changes are cheap. The risk/reward ratio of trying to squeeze every mile out of an oil change just isn’t there

Both my wife's 2009 Honda CR-V and my previous 2015 Honda Fit had a "Maintenance Minder" which would let you know when to change the oil but the manual like Ford's says if the indicator does not come on in a year to change it then.

I drive about 5,000 miles annually and the wife about 1,000 so we always change the oil at the yearly interval.

Well said...Also, 5k oil changes are easy to remember and know when are coming, 5/10/15/20/25...

The Maverick has an oil life indicator. I asked dealer about changing the first oil early, & they said it's not necessary. I usually keep my eye on the oil & change it when gets darker in color. With my Taurus that was 3200 with conventional oil & over 4000 with semi-synthetic.
