Guys, Ford Australia has made a decision that the first oil change for GTs is done at 15,000km. I think it was a decision they felt provided the best compromise between cost / convenience / engine safety etc, for the average owner.
Most of us on this forum are enthusiasts who might be uncomfortable with a 15k oil change interval, and many of us drive our cars more... spiritedly... and are interested in mods. Heck, many of us wash our cars as often as we drive them!
So... Ignore the oil change warning and what the dealership does (eg. reset the oil chamge warning) and get your oil changed earlier than 15k!
It's not ever going to hurt your car and it will give you peace of mind
Ps. 5w20 is ok for colder climates and 5w30 is probably more suited for typical Aussie climates.
