I will post pics later tonight, how long is break in period? when should I first change my oil?

 

drive it like you stole it. make use of the warranty untill about 10k

 

Take it to the track before 100 miles, that's what most of us have done.

 

Congratts

I guess you didn't listen to me, I told you not to test drive one, LOL

This is what I recomend

Just drive it and enjoy your new truck, the only thing I wouldn't do is to drive for long periods of time at the same speed.

As for oil changes
I changed my oil with conventional oil at 1000, 3000, 6000, then at the next oil change I put Mobil One 5w-30 in it.

Allways use the Motorcraft FL 820S filter.

 

So... now I guess you have to change your name to HaveALight?

 

 

 

Enjoy my friend! You can never change oil to often. Break in period is crucial. Many tiny metal fragments. Personally 1st change 1000mi/engine flush.

 

Congrats on the truck!!

as for break in drive it like you want to... the only thing I would suggest (and this goes for all the time not just break in) Do not run WOT until the engine is warmed up some.

Oil change... Well that is really up to you ford recommends 3000 miles BUT I would change it between 1000 and 1500. Make sure you use a good filter NOT fram.... use FMC, K&N, or something like that. After the first change do it every 3000 (or 3 months if you only make short trips and don't rack up miles).

What color do you end up with? I hope you got Silver cuz it IS the fastest

Enjoy your truck!

maybe not as fast as Silver but it sure is pretty

Again congrats and enjoy!

Congrats on your new truck it must be nice to have a Lighting.

 

Black??Is it me or isn't that truck blue.

 

Congrats on the new truck. you might ask your local politicians, if you might be able to get a special color, or no plates at all. looks like a $1000 tux with an orange tie

 

Looks blue to me but it's hard to tell. Maybe he'll enlighten us.

Nice truck, black or blue. Pity it's not silver, the fastest color!

 

WOW! Is it just me or does that truck look even better in the Carribbean! Nice ride you've got there,,, have I seen that truck before!!?? Congratulations!
