First Oil Change
I agree 100%....wear metals and silicone will always be flushed out in the first couple of oil changes. I can do an oil change for about 22 bucks, so it is cheap insurance for your engine longevity.
I thought you were complaining that you had ordered an '11 F-150 on 11/13 and it had shipped on 11/22. I ordered mine on 9/16 and I'm still waiting...along with everybody else.It was only when I was wondering how you do your first oil change before the truck arrives that I clued in...dumbass!
OK, blood presure returning to normal now...still waiting.
BTW, I'll definitely order a Fumitomo too. I'm planning on running full synthetic (whatever's on sale) 0W-20 year round.
Edit: Make that Fumoto

I'm still on the fence about the fumoto for this truck. I can clean up a few drips easy enough with a rag and I've done 3 OC so far just over 10k, will be doing another in about 1500 mi. I did have one for the 6.0 and liked it. Maybe I'll get myself one for Christmas.
rok, you just about made my head explode.

get the fumoto i have used them on my trucks and cars since 2002 never had a problem they due drain a little slower but well worth the money.
Thanks- I know, I had one on my old diesel and I liked it on that. Just not sure I want one for the 150. Maybe...
Pretty sure the stock bolt isnt magnetic. And no the fumoto isnt because its brass. Mine came today. but i already changed the oil last week. so now it sits for probably 6 months until its time to change again. All thanks to them not sending it out until 10 days after i ordered it!
