Doesn't have to do with being a spazz, read the manual also, ford recommends changes at 5000 kms as well as every single oil change bay (quick lubes) around, it's an industry standard.
Leaving it to 10,000 is a stupid stupid move. Sorry to say but it is. I took care of 200+ vehicles every year when I worked for a rental car company and we had a couple trucks out on year rentals (one came back with 18,000 kms with no oil changes and the engine was basically ****ed. Knocking, etc. I actually replace the oil in my car every 3000-4000 kms MAX.
