DIY Oil Change on Raptor R

[EricM]

Yes, 2. 1000 and 6000 miles.

Was just wondering if they tried to add a sucharge, or used their typical semi-syn Motorcraft oil instead of the $$$ stuff. You don't know what oil went in for sure- one big downside to not doing yourself, especially when it requires an unusal and expensive oil.

So if your truck gets totaled tomorrow- are you out all of that money for the maintenance plan?

The Ford Premium Maintenance Plan will cover the Raptor R oil changes.

If they’re using Motorcraft Full Synthetic that’s a good deal. Brings the cost down to approximately $140 per change depending on what plan you get.

I wonder if they let us use it with mobile service

5w 50 full syn, no surcharge. I know if I trade it in I get all my money back for the maintenance and extended warranty plans

The Ford PMP has a full synthetic upgrade option on the plan. When you buy it, make sure your plan has that. If so, your good. If not, complain to your dealer that they should have caught that and that they need to upgrade your plan. They can do that internally with Ford protect if there hasn't been too much time passed since the purchase of the plan.

Fumoto drain valve if you have the metal pan makes it snap.
