I have a 06, F-350, Single Rear, XR4, 4wd. I just had my first oil change. It was done by the dealership and while there, they also completed a computor recall. Right now, the truck has 3,800 miles on it.

I noticed on the way home, the oil change sticker stated to change again in 3,000 miles. Whats up with that? The owners manual says 5,000 if you work it hard, or in dusty conditions, or 7,500 miles with normal driving.

I drive very normal. I havent actually even hooked to a trailer yet, but will some in the future. Right now, nothing heavier than a 16 ft, Vnose enclosed trailer loaded with a Full dresser Harley and a 750 ATV. That is kinda heavy for my old Chevy 1/2 ton, but behind the new Ford, doubt I will even know it is back there.

So, what is the proper oil change interval for this truck...3,000 miles sounds crazy with a engine that holds 15 quarts.....

Thanks for the info.
