At 5k and every 5k after that. Oil life monitor is at 70% or higher when I do.

I have had cars that were garage queens that I only took for the occasional drive on the weekend, and I always did at least 2 oil changes per year, regardless of mileage.Wow so if I don't use the car for a whole year I still need to get an oil change . Also thanks for not being mean. I appreciate it .
I was just going to ask if the Bronco oil change has any surprises, my Ranger had a few. My Bronco is supposably being shipped by convoy, Blend date was 8-8-23.Do we all agree that changing the oil on the Bronco sucks? It’s so hard getting the oil filter off, such a design flaw!
The oil filter on the Ranger is annoying, but I just zip tie the front splash guard and it helps a ton.I was just going to ask if the Bronco oil change has any surprises, my Ranger had a few. My Bronco is supposably being shipped by convoy, Blend date was 8-8-23.
I drive 3,000 miles a year. Oil change every spring.So I bought my bronco wildtrak in August 2022. Just had my first oiled change at 2,900 miles . I'm curious though , when did y'all get your first oil change. I could swore my old junker cars used to run double that miles before I got an oild change so what's up with needing an oil change before it hit 3k miles. I rarely use the bronco hence I had it for a year and haven't driven it for than 3k. Note this is my first "new" vehicle since graduating college and always driven old as heck cars so don't be mean
I changed it at 1050 miles..... mostly for peace of mind.There is Zero need to change the oil at 500, 1000 etc. If anything, change the oil filter.
This is when you know a vehicle forum has lost its soul--the rise in oil change threads.Do the first at 1000 miles. It is not a gimmick/money grab. You will find metal shards/scraps in that first oil change and you want that out of the engine as soon as possible.
