Got my first oil change for $38 at my Ford dealer. It's only a 4 cylinder.

Stop at Autozone or Walmart. Buy Filter and Oil. 30 Minutes. Done

nope. always do my own, though I will buy the motorcraft filter if I can get a good deal, luck for me both the range and my wife's new '20 Escape take the same filter. Also not a fan of the blended oil they use. As far as aftermarket LOF service centers I'm sorry I'm just not trusting it to anyone else at this point with a odd placed filter, plastic well flap nuts and flap and metal cover underneath.

Lucky for me I've been able to office remotely the past few months and have not been putting any significant miles on it. So bt the time I'm due it should be Feb/March and warm enough to lay on my back again in the garage. Running the Castrol Full Synthetic so if needed I'm not worried about going over a bit.

The Ranger has 3 years bumper to bumper and 5 years power train warranty. The required services need to be documented to keep the warranty. Otherwise you might end up with a lot of discussions and a big bill if shit happens !

Receipts are documents!

Ford "works" (oil and filter change + tire rotation) runs $49.95 + tax. They only use Ford parts and oil. I'd say that's a pretty reasonable deal. Unless I do the work myself, the dealer is the only one allowed to touch any of my cars.

Yes, a "high performance, direct injected, turbocharged 4 cylinder many variable cams, forged everything and powered metallurgy block". I think I'll stick to high quality synthetics instead of going to the Quick (lube) Rip and getting mystery oil from a rusty steel barrel Not that it's what you were suggesting, but my dealer is charging 2x that for the same service (dealers suck for this reason).

Thanks for all the advice. Don’t want changethe oil myself”75 yrs old” so I will stick with a dealership.
I always get good advice from Rangee enthusist.

Ok... I'll bite.

What does the number of cylinders have to do with the cost of an oil change?

 

[OFC Ranger]

I don't do my own oil changes anymore than I would change my own tire if I am in a populated area. I pay something like $5 a month for some other guy to come out and do it while I sit in the A/C or heat. If I am in the boonies then I would roll up my sleeves out of necessity. I use to be all about "if you love your car you do it yourself" - but the older I got...

I think people assume that the less cylinders it has, either 1. the less oil it will take (false) or 2. the less complicated and precise it will be (also false) or 1 and 2 together.

But IDK, seemed like bait to me

Not if you do the oil change by your self. The service has to be performed by an certified service place. Then the service is documented with an official invoice and also visible in the computer system for the Ford dealer if there is a warranty claim. And you will see this service on CarFax...
