I have a 99 F-150 4x4 with 251,000 on it....I had the oil changed every 6000 to 8,000 miles on it. I have owned the Truck since 2001 when I bought it with 19,000 on it. I still have it. My Pony is now at 5100 miles and reading 51% oil life....so I am figuring about 9000 will be oil change.
But what I would like to know.....all Synthetic when I do change.....what is best for her to use????

Hi Deysha,
Ive finally been home long enough to get mine up to 3600 miles. Now it gets to enjoy a 3 week nap because I wont have time for it.![Nonono](https://themustangsource.com/forums/images/smilies/nonono.gif)
When you say "10K - or- a year" Does that monitor litterally know when a year is up?
Mine was built in Jan `13, Delivered to the dealer in March `13, Purchased in early Aug `13 w/221 miles and now in December Its up to 3600.
If it isnt set to go off automatically at a year, Is that year up for me in January, March, or Aug ?

You cannot go wrong with Amsoil oil and filters. I will be switching over after my hydrocracked not-technically 100% supply of Royal Purple is consumed. Check the Greasy Spoon section over on SVT if you want to check the oil analysis results they have posted for GT/Boss/Shelby Mustangs.
