"truck" speed limits only apply to heavy trucks, i.e. commercial vehicles, not passenger vehicles.
I know. But I'm not one for speed anyway. Never have been.

When I got my 2002 Mustang GT in 2001 they told me 2,000 miles. I had a Mustang GT! how the hell could I not race it! Never had a problem with the engine with an occasional race during break in. Lot of racing after breaking in and a ticket to prove it 80mph over the speed limit. I made the local paper. I miss that car but probably a good thing I don't have it anymore may have been wrapped around a tree by now šŸ˜Ÿ who knows.

I'm in Illinois. Speed limit on some interstates is 75 but I avoid those anyway. The trouble is, when it was 65, people drove 80 on there. Now that it's 75, they're going 90. No kidding. I don't play that game.

I don't know where "BFE" is but it sounds similar. Here, every speed limit sign on those roads has two additional lines: "Trucks 65" And another sign below that: "Minimum speed 45." A maverick is a truck, everyone insists it is that and not a "trucklet," so...
BFE is somewhere in Egypt šŸ˜

Thisā€™ll be the first new car for me. Iā€™m interested in the break in period too. If it goes by miles driven it may take me A LONG TIME to get to a mileage threshold. I only put 7-10 miles per day going back and forth to work, maybe 4 times a week too.
Better to just follow the manual, I am interested to read how a Hybrid engine warms up in real cold climates if it starts out in battery mode.

Page 303 of the Maverick manual states: "Note: The oil consumption of new engines
reaches its normal level after approximately 3,000 mi (5,000 km)."
I will drive it easy for the first 1000 mi, do the first oil change at 3000 mi (0W20 for the Hybrid-Page 361), then follow the idiot light after that.

Iā€™ve been in the automotive racing industry building race engines and manufacturing Tier 1 components for over 30yrs. With todayā€™s plasma coated piston rings and very smooth surface finishes on the cylinder bores, piston sealing is almost instant with the engine on a dyno under a light load. Oil is changed after this short break in period and recorded pulls and tuning are done. Your daily driver was engineered for the average know nothing schmuck to abuse all maintenance rules. Drive like you normally would and change the oil at the recommended interval.

The manual states 5W30 synthetic blend OR full synthetic for the 2.0 but full synthetic for the hybrid, so I'm pretty sure it's an either/or situation with the Ecoboost.

The original post was how you plan to break in the vehicle for the first 1k miles and when will you do the first oil change. So both if you plan to do the oil change at 1yr/10k miles/idiot light.

Iā€™m just going by my experience with Hybrids and manual ā€œYour vehicle comes with the Intelligent
Oil-Life Monitor system, a message
appears in the information display at the
proper oil change interval. This interval
may be up to one year or 10,000 mi
(16,000 km), hybrid vehicles could exceed
10,000 mi (16,000 km)ā€
