You can try drain fill 2.5 quarts with full synthetic. Changing it all at 75k might be risky if you haven't touched it yet.

I agree with yesti. If you would of said 50k I would of said go for it, but 75k mmm maybe not. At this point the oil is probably creating its own pressure seal.

I’m in no way an expert just drawing from my experiences. You can (should, which I encourage) always get a professional opinion.

You should have no problem changing it. Don't flush it! Just let gravity do it's thing. I use Valvoline Max Life Synthetic (red) on all my vehicles with great results.
