If everyone would post there change interval that will give me an idea of when to change mine. This is an '06 5.4L.
Thanks guys.

People often stop when I'm on the side of the road to help me with a flat but, I tell them "No, I'm just rotating my tires".

He actually rotates his oil every 1000 miles and changes his tires every 500 miles.
Anyone who has a couch that smells as bad as his does, deserves a break now and then

I never change my oil. The dealer does. He does it once every 3,000 miles regardless of time frame. I just had the oil changed in my F-150 at 3000 miles, approximately 4 months after I bought it.

Using full synthetic and changing at 3,000 is just plain stupid and a waste of money.
