Talking First Oil Change Today

I had the oil changed today by Ford dealer. I had them use FULL SYNTHETIC 5-30 and I don't hear any marbles but it was a little louder wich is normal with forged pistons when cold. I will keep a eye on it and see how it goes. This is probaly the only time I will ever bring it to the dealer unless something breaks it was a rip off $65 for a oil change never again

If you went to Full Syn before 10K, get ready to see smoke @ startup.... Most everyone has it that went to Full Syn before then..

Yikes $65 for an oil change?

My dealer gave me a complimentary one the first time, and for filling out a well-graded survey for a recent recall item I got another

not for free

I had a coupon for a $14 oil change but since I wanted synthetic they charged me, but like I said before it will be the only time it goes there fromnow on I'll do the service on it

and no smoke I have always run synthetic in everything from first oil change and no probs
