My first oil change was at 40 miles, and I went with Mobil-1 Clean 7500 5W-30 (partial synthetic), and a Mobil-1 filter. My next oil change will be at 500 miles, again with Mobil-1 oil and a Motorcraft filter. I'll change again at 2,500 miles, then follow the severe(?) duty recommendations in the maintenance manual.

5W-30 is recommended by Ford for our 4.0s ... 5W-30 has a bigger performance range compared to 10W-30.

I have also switched to Mobil 1 synthetic - it's easier to get than RP, and it comes out looking about the same color as when it went in, fwiw.
