[QUOTE="FordTechOne, post: 16773469, member: 203565"] First off...don't listen to Service Advisors. They are literally just sales people for the service department working on commision, 99% of them have no idea what they're taking about. Second, the 10,000 mile oil change interval is the [I]maximum[/I] under perfect conditions. Which means mild temperatures, all highway driving, and no towing or hauling. That basically fits the use case of nobody. Most people fall under the "severe" schedule", which is ~5K oil changes. The oil life monitor adjusts to suit the driving conditions, but it's not perfect. Mine typically indicates an oil change every 6-7K miles, which is about accurate given the use case. Third...the engine is not broken in until 10,000 miles at minimum. During that break in period, it may, and typically will, use more oil. My 2019 3.5 HO used a quart in the first 5k miles, and hasn't burned a drop since. No oil consumption test should even be attempted before the engine is at least broken in. As far a Sync, the majority of issues are the result of the paired device. We've seen the "MLB at Bat" app lock up navigation on Sync 3, as well as countless other issues caused by devices. Before you blame the system, consider what you're trying to pair to it. Another blunder is emojis in the contact list, they will pull down any infotainment unit. [/QUOTE]
