39000 mile oil change

[Jeff2017]

I just did my 39k mile oil change on my 2015 SHO. Everything still looks good. No signs of leaks from the turbos or PTU. Car has been quite reliable. Other than the oil changes I do myself I have had the transmission and coolant flushed at the dealer at the 30k mile mark.

change ptu fluid on next oil change

And change oil at least every 5k with full synthetic to hopefully extend the life of your timing chain. Wish I would have. I used only full synthetic but at standard intervals and got to replace the chain at 106k miles.

I change my oil every 3000 miles and use Castrol. Me personally and I own 3 Ecoboosts, 5,000 mile or any later i wouldn't recommend, Ecoboost can really cook the oil in no time and varnish the engine. And i change PTU every 10,000 unless I'm pushing it, then I change it at 5,000 miles. Worth doing the 6 quart tranny fluid change at least every 10,000, if tracking swap 6 quarts out of tranny everytime, tranny's like fresh fluid.

You can quickly dump nominally 3.5 quarts of tranny fluid from the case at oil changes. There's a hex head pipe plug under there. I measure the volume and replace with same about once a year. The dipstick/refill is under the air box so that requires a quick removal. For a guy that does his own oil changes this is all a nothingburger.

Least expensive oil out there is full synthetic Kirkland Signature made by Warren Lubricants https://www.warrenoil.com/us/ . Ten quarts of 5W30 will currently run you about $40 shipped to your door in two bottles ordered at Costco.com.

That is what I do and all my fluids look great. Just clicked off 96K miles.
