I now have a 2010 4.0 -- my third Ranger.
When I got it, the customer care dude and the service manager both said there was no time amount on the oil change maintenance schedule and that it was just every 7,500 miles. Of course I was skeptical and changed more than that, but maybe not enough. I did my first change at about 6 mo and 3K. Second one 8 mo later at about 7,500K.
Then... my neighbor pulled up in his new/used Escape and said he was told 6mo or 7,500 miles, whichever comes first. I said no no no. Blah blah blah. Then I read the book in the glovebox and it agreed with him. 6 months... If it's an issue then it's all my fault because I can read. But, if there's someone on who really know what the rules are, I'd love a response.
