2023 oil filter - never replaced?

[JohnCT]

Hi, my wife bought a 2023 Edge with 6100 miles on it Tuesday, and it was delivered with an oil change due warning (and four low tires and one missing tire valve cap).  Yesterday, I did an oil change on the car and pulled out a FoMoCo oil filter.  I'm trying to figure out if this car *ever* had an oil change or if the one I did was the first one.  Do Ford dealers use these filters as service replacements, or is this the filter the car was originally shipped with?

That is the OEM factory filter that it likely rolled off the assembly line with. The "aftermarket" service replacements are labeled Motorcraft and used by the dealer for oil changes.

 

At only 6100 miles, besides the "or a year" part how many oil changes did you expect it to have?

Thanks.  That's what I thought.

At least one. I would expect the first oil change on any new engine at less than 5K miles.  If I bought it new, it would have had its first oil change at 1K miles but that's me.  In any case, it was delivered with with the yellow warning message of oil life at zero percent (long story about the selling Ford dealer that's not really important).

 

Interesting that in the "service history" (Fordpass app), it says the dealer serviced the vehicle for "scheduled maintenance" in April of this year.  Not sure what he did.

 

Thanks again.
