This the quote I received from my dealer. It is for a 2018 450.
Maintenance every 5000 miles.
8/75k = $3190
8/100k = $3750
Add $800 for full synthetic
I probably will not get it.
I just spoke to my dealer about this earlier today. He quoted me 5000 miles service 6yr/75k - $3840 8yr/100k $4475. The math just doesn't add up. I used to do my own oil changes but they do them for $99 using a synthetic blend so I let them do it. 2 oil changes a year and I fuel filter change a year at $150 is only $2100 over 6 years. I highly doubt all the small stuff will add up to $1800 or so.
Seems like a lot but I did quick search for Motocraft oil and filter at Autozone and it came out to be about $106 after tax for the 13 quarts and filter.

This looks like like quote for extended warranty. Not the maintenance plan.
If you get the service to 125 k miles, it includes the transmission oil changes, coolant changes, diffs, transfer case, brake pads and rotors, cabin air filters, air filters, wiper blades ect all as needed. Even DEF fill ups every time, ussually two jugs for me, atleast, I wish I didn't throw out my spreadsheet, but just the parts, at dealer prices, less 10%, and the plan is paid for, no recycling of old filters, old oil, drained diesel when dropping the water in fuel drain, ect. I also get a certificate for a hands free car wash every time I bring it in, for service or otherwise. Another $10 per each service.
I think I am sold but the interval still has me thinking what is best? I think 10K is out so 5k and the extra $1000 or roll the dice a little with 7.5K? Opinions?
If its bought thru a Ford dealer and its a Ford item not after market company. I get phone call that my warranty is expiring all the time and then yell them sure but has 2500000 miles then they usually hang up.
I took my old truck in for her last service and inspection today at the shop I have been using for years, before I sell her. I asked the guy to quote me an oil change/filter and a fuel filer change just so I know how I would sit if I brought it to them. $174 for a full synthetic oil(T6 Rotella) change/filter and $285 for Fuel filter change out. That is well over the Ford with the PMP. I realize if I did it myself I could do the oil for around $90 and the Fuel Filters cost about $60 per set but for a guy not wanting to hassle with it and put everything on Ford the PMP is sounding pretty good.
I just got the 7/125,00 at 7500 mile intervals with the regular oil. I’m not towing much and mostly highway driving. I think I’ll come out ahead and if I want to do some changes in between I can. I got it at the same time I got the extended warranty and used BLWNSMOKE’s guy.
