If you get those maintenance coupons from your dealer occasionally, use them. I got one 3 weeks ago for a 15,000 mile oil change and fuel filter change. Total cost was $136.00 on my bill.
After hearing about the cost of fuel filters and $77 per hour labor, I think I got a good deal for both changes.

 

Dealers around here wont honor them for the diesels, they always jack up the price when you tell them youve got a 6.4L

 

I have not seen any of these coupons. Wish I had a pile of them. Yes, you definately got a deal at $136 for both services. I bought the fuel filter kit the other day to change them myself and the kit alone was $80.

 

Hope to see those coupons in the mail soon!!!!

 

I have a 2008 6.4L & crew cab, long bed. It was kinda interesting to see the smile on their faces disappear (the non verbal communication kind) when I handed them the coupon. But what really surprised them was when I handed the service manager a box of a dozen donuts for her and the guys, besides the coupon. She said no customer ever did that for them.
She told me if I hadn't had the coupon the bill would have been $148 higher. I told her to make sure she sends another coupon when its due again.

 

You catch more bees with honey!! Its amazing how people react if you are just kind. Its hard to do sometimes but Ive found a little good will to go a long way with most people.

when you sign in and register your maintenance at https://myford.fordvehicles.com/serv.../Page/HomePage you will see these service coupons for oil changes and road trip services but most dealers charge more for diesels. Glad you got a dealer who doesnt do that. In fact, this link http://www.flmowner.com/servlet/Cont...ouponPrintPage takes you to one right now for brakes.

 

I always get coupons a week after I have service performed, and throw them out. My dealer will honor them if I could get them in time.
