2012 F350 Diesel fluids

My F350 is getting close to the 70,000 miles mark. Since it’s a 14 year old truck, should I be changing the fluids? And if so, where’s the best place to have it done…the stealership or an independent diesel shop.

Also, about the factory store…I still have two more years of full factory warranty, if that factors into where to take it.

thanks, Larry

2024-2012=12 add 1 for Ford math is 13. If you're keeping the truck why not it is 14 year old fluid atleast.

Did you buy it new? And even if you bought an extended warranty which I believe the longest you can go is 8 years/150k miles... the warranty would already be expired.

Do you just use it to pull a camper from time to time?
