Got mine today. Pretty much a reminder on service intervals for the various fluids and filters. (Oil, Fuel, Coolant, etc...)

Got mine in the mail a couple weeks ago.

There appears to me to be a change in collant recommendations. Recommends testing the antifreeze, etc. I don't believe any of the coolant testing recommendations are in the orginal maintance schedule.

This applies to a 6.0l

A couple people have confirmed that testing the coolant is not in the owner's manual. If someone on here didn't get a copy of their own, send me a PM and I will email you a copy of mine.
