On one Bronco I changed at 2600 miles and other at 900 miles. Both were first oil changes which I intentionally planned early. I rather have done it at 2K miles on the one but miles got ahead of me. The one at 900 miles has only been seeing very short trips and oil was 6 months old so decided to refresh it.
Moving forward my target is 3K to 3.5K miles. My Explorer sees heavy duty use so needed shorter interval. My concern with the 2.3L is as mentioned in the video the by design conditions that create more blow by. I don't really care to hear the oil has been designed to keep such particulates in suspension so it isn't a problem. I would rather get them out. The cost isn't a factor for mean I don't mind getting under the car to do myself so I'm going to keep short intervals. It has served me well in the past.
