Loki - have you done any oil analysis on these ecoboost engines? I wouldn’t be surprised if we were good for anywhere from 8-10k miles depending on use. Personally I use a 6k change interval but its probably excessive.
Not on the 2020 Expedition, but did several on my Edge, and Explorer. The DI only 2.7 and 3.0 respectively. I drove them HARD, and they were tuned on Performance tunes. The Edge lived on a E70 tune for over a year before I traded it in, and the Explorer ran 1/2 the time on an E50 performance tune, and the other 1/2 the time on a 93 Performance tune. I did 3 analysis on each. All came back within specs, and the interval was recommended that I could extend. All 3 oil changes for each were done between 6-7K by the dealer with the Motorcraft Blend. I ran J&L Oil separators on both for what it is worth. So driven HARD, many 0-60 launches, and 1/4 mile runs, with Ethanol in the tank.
To summarize, and others have said it too:
Semi-Syn at minimum from a quality oil provider, and intervals based on driving habits and conditions. Doing 3K intervals, or even 5K Intervals is probably wasting money if you are driving normal, and not doing anything extreme, like towing regularly, or excessive idling.
The Motorcraft Semi-Syn has proven to be a good oil, and meets all the specs.
Enjoy!
