Default Oil Changes

I've got 10K on my '01 2.8. I'm ready for 2nd service and dealer says the next oil change is at 20K and tire rotation is at 30K. This seems way too long. Any opionions?

Don't be fooled by Jiffy Lube 3K Propaganda.

Default depends on oil

I'd have no problem with synthetic. Just keep it topped off as these engines naturally burn about a quart every 5k.
