Question to the knowledgeable... I just recieved a "freeby" oil change from the Ford dealership on my 2007.5 3500 with the 6.7. I brought it in for the 7500 mile change, no notices were showing on the display yet. I've put less than 2500 miles on the truck since and now I'm getting "Oil Change Required" on my display. Does the computer monitor the oil quality? Is it set to show at a set mileage? I'm only using the ULSD with Drews Brew so I don't believe I've fouled the oil. I'm guessing that the dealership didn't reset the computer. Any input??

 

Your vehicle is equipped with an engine oil change indicator system. This system will alert you when it is time to change your engine oil by displaying the words “Oil Change Required�? on your Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC). The engine oil change indicator system is duty cycle based, which means the engine oil change interval may fluctuate depending on your personal driving style. Driving styles such as frequent stop and go type driving can increase the frequency of the engine oil change. This is the result of more frequent regeneration of the exhaust aftertreatment system, which can decrease the life of the engine oil. Failure to change the engine oil per the maintenance schedule can result in internal engine damage.

 

Does 2500 miles seem normal? 1500 miles of that was pulling 15k fifth wheel running an average of 65mph. Rest was around town.
