If you drive the vehicle hard, or the conditions where you drive are harsher, the CBS system will indicate an oil change before the 1 yr/10k mi mark, for example. The reason many perform more frequent changes is because "that's what I've always done", disregarding the advancements in oil, vehicle technology, etc. If one prefers to do that, it's totally fine, but it doesn't mean their vehicle is going to be any more problem-free or last longer than someone's who follows the maintenance schedule. Fwiw - I've owned over 40 vehicles, most of which were performance vehicles. I can't tell you the huge number of miles I've put on them. Always followed the manufacturer's recommended maintenance schedule & have never had a drive train issue in any of them. |

There was no agenda to drive me to seek dealer servicing. One tech worked at a Lincoln dealer and I didn't own a Lincoln. And wouldn't. Cars there were clearly above my pay grade. I didn't even use a dealer to service the car I owned. I did my own servicing. |

Oil change every 5-6k and you should be set. These cars are very beefy.
