All the same - ask a competent tech what he thinks of engineers....

No kidding. Doesn't the user's manual say to replace every 20k, not 10k?
People need to read the manual. It has nothing to do with engineers. It has everything to do with people refusing to read the owner's manual which was written by the people who designed the truck and thus know first hand what the optimal maintenance intervals are.
Let these people over maintain their vehicles. They're doing nothing more than throwing their money away AND best of all they are keeping YOU employed.
P.S.--I call them a stealership for charging the prices that they charge for the services that I'm fully capable of doing on my own without having to part with my vehicle for the day or longer. I haven't checked to see how much oil changes cost at my stealership, but I'll bet that it's no less than $100 and I'd have to part with the truck for half the day. Guess what? I bought 15 qt of Motorcraft 15W40 from Walmart for $30 and got a new Motorcraft oil filter for $18. Guess how long it took me to do the oil change?
