Thoughts on 30,000 mile checkup?

Just get a mechanic you trust to do those things. Keep the receipt and upload a copy to your account at ford.com

You do not have to get maintenance done at a ford stealership.

Yeah. It's a bummer that Ford removed that option from the FordPass app.

Regarding tire rotation -- Three seperate visits to the dealer for recalls, and each time the tech volunteered the following: "I checked your tread depth, and the wear is consistent on all tires, so don't worry about rotating them."

You had an honest tech there. I have a 15 year old ram,40,000 miles. The factory tires all look good,wear is similar. Never rotated. I also have a 15 year old caravan.170,000 miles. Rotated the front tires for the first time recently in 15 years since I noticed uneven wear. Its obviously starting to wear out at those miles.

I guess, for people who use the app. I initially installed it to get Ford Pass points, never granted any permissions to it, then removed my Maverick from its vehicle list, uninstalled it and pulled Telematics fuse# 11.

How about the "Lubricate if equipped with grease fittings". Is that the case with any of the parts listed? (for the hybrid)

At 30k miles, I would recommend a drain and fill of the transmission fluid. I plan on doing it at 25k miles.

I would replace the air filter if it hasn't already been replaced recently and self inspect the other items, note it within fordpass and move on until your next service interval you follow

Thanks. Staying on top of things is the key.

Let us know how that goes.

Good question.
