Love note from Ford

Today I received a note from Ford, explaining the importance of following the maintenance guidelines- particularly the coolant, fuel filter and oil changes, and coolant Nitrite strength check. Anyone else get the letter?

Would have been convenient had they included a couple dozen of these Nitrite test strips, instead of sending me to the local dealer, which has a rep of ripping people off, to get them.
