2012 XLT FWD 2.5L 30k maintenance

Hey guys,
My 2012 already has 25k miles on it, and as I use it for work that is climbing fast. This was my first car owned "new" so I want to make sure I treat it right. I've been running synthetic oil following the OLHM, but I want feedback on what I should do for 30k maint.

I called ford dealer, and they wanted 450 dollars for what sounded like a glorified oil change. I then called a local mechanic that specializes in ford trucks, and he said his system didn't cue anything special for a 30k, just oil change and full inspection of all systems. Does this sound right?

I put a KN fair filter in, so no change there. Next oil change by OLHM should be at around 30k. Ford dealer told me tranny fluid at 150k ( I drive around in vineyards/orchards, so with the dust I'm guessing I should cut that to 60k?)

Thanks for any help!

Hi invaderc,

I recommend following the maintenance recommendations set forth in the 3rd Printing of your Owner's Manual. This information starts on page 447. You can download a free copy here: https://owner.ford.com/servlet/Conte...OwnerGuidePage
