After spending some time at a friends house, I went and started my Maverick and definitely noticed a burnt oil smell. It only has a little over 2300 miles on it so I'm wondering if this is a sign to schedule an oil change considering many on this forum have mentioned completing the oil change for the direct injection Ecoboost between the 2500-3000 mile mark. Oil dilution between the fuel injectors and the oil is the main concern overtime. However, I haven't quite hit that mile mark yet which is why I'm confused that I seem to be getting the burnt oil smell already. I do live in a hot climate (South Florida) but my driving habits are pretty conservative. I'm not bashing on it by any means. My throttle inputs are smooth and linear, I drive in Eco mode every so often, and I don't run the air conditioning on high fan speeds. That latter one I don't think has anything to do with it but it's worth mentioning. Should I schedule an oil change at the 2500 mile mark? I would appreciate your input. Thanks.
