Anyone remember the "Good Ole Days" when some dealers offered FREE Oil CHANGES for as long as you owned any new car purchased from them?
Actually, I looked for a dealer near me hat offered just that. My dealer offers free oil changes for life and also guarantees the motor drive chain for life. I purchased an extended warrantee, which I know some people are against, but my deciding factor was it was pretty much equal to the Ford premium care plan but cost me $1000 and is good for 100,000 miles unlimited term time frame. Which for me is great because it would probable be 12-14 years before I put 100,000 mile on it.

I bought a 1991 caprice (used with 121 miles on it which little old lady had bought and had to trade it in because she couldn't see over the dash) that came with one of those 100k warranties thrown in. It was GM dealer and when I moved to Dallas, I discovered that it was not GM specific and you could get work done by "authorized" repair facilities. When I had around 99k miles I took it to a Firestone repair facility and told the manager to fix anything that was covered. BINGO, he found $3800+ things. 🤗🤗🤗

Hell with that 10k oil change interval too. 5k is as far as I'd take it, even with full synthetic. Motorcraft syn blend sure as hell isn't 10k worthy. I'll wait for the arguments, but if you appreciate your vehicle, ante up for the good stuff and a 5k change window.

Toyota does this for you for a few years. They also rotate the tires and top off wiper fluid.
Heck even snowplow dealer around here are not that cheap. As long as you own the plow all brand dealers with change hydraulic oil yearly for free.

For what ever its worth, your not getting a synthetic oil change and tire rotation done for $50 anymore. Probably $80 at best. So pretty easy to do the math on this. But that being said, now your tide to doing your maint business with just one place.

My wife's 2016 Prius needs oil/filter change every 10k miles. I estimated their oil and filter cost me 54.00 They included tire rotations too when they did the oil change. My cost was about 70.00 each visit at 10k miles. It has gone up some. My last oil change worked out to 73.50 with no tire rotation as the new tires are rotated by Costco for free now.

3 years is kind of short for the service policy unless you start driving more. Maybe just cancel if you can and pay as you go.

Hi fellow club members,

While I was completing the paperwork , the dealer offered me a 3 year maintenance plan for $299. It includes 6 Oil + Filter change, 6 Tire rotations, 2 State Inspections (TX). I agreed to it at that time however I am now re-thinking it. On paper its looks value for money however I dont drive the truck so much. Not even 1000 miles a month. Given that the oil replacement interval is 10K miles I am wondering I will only use it may be twice in 3 years.
Although I did not ask however I am sure dealer will use conventional oil.

What do you suggest should I keep it?
Oil changes can be based on mileage or time. I don't know about the Maverick, but my 2012 F150 Lariat warns me that an oil change is due even though it only has about 1500 miles on the last change. I don't drive the truck much, so I am assuming it is basing the need on that fact that there's 9 months since the last change. . . Maybe talk to your dealer about getting 6 oil filters and 36 quarts of oil from him now, so you have some left over after the maintenance plan runs out. The dealer should use synthetic oil because that is probably what the Maverick has in it from the factory.
I can't talk about State inspections because my State doesn't have them for non-commercial vehicles, so you'd have to price that out. I bet since they are required in TX, they will be rather pricey.
Good luck.

If you are changing your oil every 10k miles you are in for bad times with this truck. Those ultra high mileage oil changes are baloney and too long of an interval. Get your oil changed every 5k miles or less no matter what oil you use.
What engine is in your Maverick OP?

So I checked the fine print, it says I can get the service done as and when I want. I would also like to get the oil change done at 5K miles and seems with this plan I can do it.
I will update on the additional cost of synthetic oil change with this plan.

Update 01/08

Checked with the dealership, they said they will use semi-synthetic oil.

So given that I can get oil changed whenever I like and they are using semi-synthetic oil, I am keeping the plan. Plan to change oil every 5K miles.
