I own two brand new Fords, I can't those deals for either vehicle.
The Ecco Boost Titanium Escape use different oil as well.
I have owner points out the wahzu. I guess next time I bring my daughters Ford in I'm going to have to battle.
I do get breaks for repair work that's not cover under ESP Warranty on both vehicles.

I just looked at my daughters "The Works" bill $48.39 this is a discount on the oil at $6.66, regular $8.33
$4.50 for the filter plus tax.

Time to find a new dealership:https://owner.ford.com/servlet/ContentServer?pagename=Owner/Page/ServiceCouponsPage

It's not the dealership, it's the vehicle mostly, can't put blend in the EcoBoost Escape. It would Void the Warranty.
This is what I'm being told by two different Service Managers at two different Dealers.
The oil for the Escape or any Ecco Boost is rated for 10,000 mile intervals or unless the vehicle reports sooner.

This is how I found out about Mobil 1 Extended.

And I only use Mobil 1 Extended and the Ford Racing Oil Filter and do my own oil changes on my Raptor since it's been Supercharged.

This is why I use a fumoto valve... quick easy and no wrench required after initial install to change my oil... After the nightmares I hear at dealerships I don't want the lowest paid guy in the shop driving my truck for any reason...

It's just the bolt stripped, right? Not the actual threads themselves? I would just go with OEM, the magnetic drain plugs are cool but unless you've got some metal you really need to get out of there for some reason I wouldn't bother with a magnetic.

Costs me $54.00 to get either truck serviced/ tires rotated. I always get hit for the additional oil and "hazmat".. either way, it's cheap insurance for me because there is no way Ford can deny warranty because the wrong oil was used...
What is the Ford Owners Advantage rewards program?
