Yeah, we have multiple vehicles, for everyday travel (mainly to save on gas), I take a car. Although I did notice the truck gets pretty good gas mileage, > 20MPG (without the AC running). The truck's more for work (hauling, moving things, etc) On 5/14/07, [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrot

bah hah ha ah .. Your joking right! you've put 700 miles your truck in 2 1/2 months? That's not even a good weekend. Take your little trip. Come home and change your oil. You may want to change your undies too. Before you leave check the following: Air Pressure in your tires. Water /

I only worry about it because I don't want to f**k up my truck. I thought it was a legit question. And I didn't want to change the oil before hand if I don't need to. I know some people who change it before and after long trips, I wasn't sure if 1200 miles constitutes a "long trip" And yeah, the 50

On an engine that new it should not be much. If it is all highway miles, that is easier on the engine than stop and go traffic miles. I would check the engine oil before you leave. It should have a blueish brown color with an oily sheen and have some body. Give it a sniff and it should smell

wow. people really worry about this? change the oil. check the tires. check the fluids. in fact just go have it all lubed. then drive and don't worry about it. The way people beat the CRAP out of their F150's around here - they'd laugh at you for this question. It's durable. It's sold to be used
