Thanks for the reply Richard sorry I wasn't specific . They are replacing the Oil Filter adapter gasket , It's leaking oil and coolant from the gasket . They also said that will include coolant and oil change . Hope that helps . They quoted $ 550.00 do do the work , also commented that most of this is labor .

I have a 2007 5.4 engine and have done some work on that adapter. I think I am familiar enough to understand what repairs you are having done.
Yeah, that seems high (ouch). Is that price quote from a dealer? Dealers have a high overhead thus higher prices than an independent garage. Usually their work is top notch though.
This is not a high tech job for a mechanic so an independent garage may give you a lower price. I don't know how much lower though.
I would use the yellow long lasting Ford coolant if you are going to replace all of the coolant. (Don't mix coolant types)

It at the Ford dealers quote , their comment is biggest part is labor No charge for the oil change as they just did one a month ago , but the coolant is pricy they say ?

If I remember right the gold Ford coolant was about $15.00 per gallon. If I remember right my system took about 3 gallons.
They may not need to drain your oil to remove & replace the oil filter adapter to put a new gasket in.
