Ford Oil Change Program

[scottblack20]

So I went to Ford instead of doing the oil myself. I was informed that if you start prior to 50K and use the high end oil Ford will warranty the motor and any oil lubed parts up $8,000 for life of the motor as long as you do not skip any oil changes.

has anyone heard of this?? if its accurate information its no brainer and why wouldn't everyone do it?

Not true at all. Sounds like a dealership “warranty” to get people to service their vehicles with them.

Well with a new motor installed running around $14,000, go tell them to pound sand , and what @FordTechOne said. Pretty sick F UKS to try and fool customers like this.

Honestly, I think my vehicles have lasted because I have NOT taken them to the stealership for service.

Totally trying to take advantage of customers.

Their called stealerships for a reason!

I agree! The dealership service departments want you to give you the opportunity of free inspections so they can find and/or create something to repair.

I have the fortune of having a good reliable dealership and service manager. Yes they do additional inspections as I would hope. I am always the final say on suggested repairs. As my Gen 3 is under warranty I will take her to the service department for all oil changed while under warranty so there is NO excuse that it was done incorrectly or the oil/filter was not "approved". Yes it costs me about $90 for the service that I could have done at "Jiffy" what ever for $35 but I will pay that no worries to maintain the pretense of "covered by warranty" issues.

I own a lube shop. Those warranties are usually through the oil companies. I believe valveline has one. I have never used it or tried up selling it. In fine print they are very specific on when oil changes have to be done and other maintenance requirements. Too many outs for the warranty to actually payout. Ford might have something similar or it might be through their oil supplier. I wouldn't trust it
