PM COSTS
I am coming up to my first Oil Change on my 2011 F550.
For those who have serviced it at a Ford Dealer, approximately what did this cost you?
Alternatively, for those who have had your fuel filters changed, what did this cost you?
Would I be voiding my warranty if I did the repairs myself? Only thing I notice in the suppliment guide is if I use filters besides Motorcraft I could possible void my warranty.
Please let me know.
Thanks Community!

Any Idea on the fuel filter maintenance?

Even if it worked out to be every other, that's still a great deal.

Ruschejj: I was told by my dealer when I picked up my '11 F-250 a few weeks ago, the first oil change would be $50.00 off ....a Ford discount that I assume is for everyone. Also, the first DEF fill at the dealer is free if it is under 10,000 miles and within one year ( ie: the first fill ) . I phoned them to verify the normal oil change cost and they said $100.00 ....unless the new filters are a few dollars more than '10 . I'm wondering if your dealer pocketed your discount ?

Is this only for when the msg center informs you or every 5k-6k?

Ford's dealer relations department has sent a communication out to all dealers with the program to refill the DEF tank at least once and information for the purchaser's of the '11 MY 6.7L SuperDuty to obtain the $50 coupon towards your first service.
This is tracked by the VIN# so if you don't use it's your loss.

No, whenever(of course reasonably). I went last Friday cuz I had 5k exactly and the service guy said I didn't have to change it until the a Message came on but that I could if I wanted to. They also offered to top of the DEF at $5 a quart. I buy the 2.5 gall for $14 at our local Peterbuild Dealer.

You cannot void your warranty for doing your own maintenance. If the dealer tells that you will void your warranty if they don't change the oil that is also BS.
In fact, you don't even have to keep records of oil changes that you do outside of the delarer.
That's not to say that it wouldn't be helpful to keep them, but it is not required.
You are protected by federal law in that aspect.
