are you guys who are doing them below 1000 miles doing your own oil changes or having it done at the dealer or el cheapo fluid shop?

I did my own yesterday on the ford edge and I’ll do my own on the maverick after I get a few hundred miles on it.

I do my own oil changes. My truck will only go to the dealer for warranty issues.

I need to get to the post office to mail mine out. I put Motul 8100 in but I will be switching to Pennzoil Platinum Euro 5W40 next oil change.

Why are you switching from the motul? Suppose to be a high end oil.

I want to use an oil that has been approved by Ford's standards. The Motul is not.

1st @ 985 miles, every 3000 since. Working at a dealership has it's perks. I still pay full retail but they can get it done while I'm at work so no hassle.

changed to full synthetic at 1000
again at 7000 only because my son was taking it to Ca. for 2 months. both at dealer, still have points left.

Good to know as Ive never owned an ecoboost, I was thinking about adding a catch can, do you think that would mitigate the fuel in the oil situation?

You may want to discuss that mod with your dealer, I've heard that things like that can void your warranty. Pretty sure Tim - fordvideoguy - mentioned mods & warranty in one of his videos not long ago. Don't get me wrong, I not against them or anything else, just thought I would throw that out there as info

I plan to do mine at 1500 using a Motorcraft FL-910S filter and Pennzoil Ultra Platinum Full Synthetic oil. After that every 5,000 with same products.

the motul eco lite 5w30 does meet ford spec. its not something that is easy to find locally and its little expensive.

i thought this voids the warranty if an oil change isnt done at a certified shop

Doesn’t matter where it’s done so long as the oil and filter used meet the Ford spec listed in the manual. It won’t void the warranty, even if you do it yourself, so long as no damage is caused in the process. Just be sure to keep your receipts as documentation in case you need them for future warranty claims.

That’s all that matters - that it was done on time with the correct oil and filter, on time, and that you can show it was done.

Did my own at 4k as well.

First change was at 3k and next one at 5k and will continue to change at every 5k. I used to do my own oil changes, but at 68 years old and with bad knees, I physically can not do it anymore. My local Ford dealership's service department runs periodic specials on full synthetic changes, so I watch for that when my Maverick gets close to oil change mileage. Last one was 79.99 plus tax paid with FordPass points.

BTW today (Dec 23) is my one year anniversary with my Maverick and I still love it.

Actually if you use the ford pass app there is a place where you can upload the receipt and make notes so they can actually see the service was done. On that same page you select if it was done at a garage or diy or dealership. I haven’t found out yet if this is forwarded to carfax or not. It does warn you though that future owners will see the data.
