First Service

[Kiwimatt]

So, I think I confused the hell out of Ford, when I booked in my car for its first service! "But sir it's not due for a year or 10,000 miles" I know and every Mile has been a joy! Anyone else reached 10k yet?

This has probably already been done in other threads but people will be approaching this milestone so...

In the UK the Mustang service interval is 10K miles or 1 year.

My Mustang GT Auto is now just at 9K miles and at around 7K miles it had to have an early engine oil change and I expect to change the oil again at 10K miles to get back on track.

The service costs will likely be fixed by Ford on a standard menu basis although I expect we will see some dealer variation. The service price will only cover what is included in the minor or major service schedule and anything like brake pads will be extra.

Around time of collection my dealer quoted Service plan for the Mustang to cover the first 3 services over 3 years or 30,000 miles etc. £826.80 incl VAT UPDATE This price was given before the actual Ford service plan was available and according to the pricelist the cost is £590.00

I was told that this works out cheaper than paying for individual services but I don't know the exact price which will be different depending on if it is a interim or a major service.

The service schedule and what is involved in detail can be downloaded from ETIS and a lot of it is inspecting things so anyone doing their own oil changes etc in place of a service may be missing out on some of checks.

Model Mustang 2015
Variant 5.0L DURATEC TI-VCT V8/AUTOMATIC (03/2015 - )
VIN 1FA6P8CF8G521XXXX
Interval 1 Years (10000 ml)
Interim Service
Interval 2 Years (20000 ml)
Major Service
Interval 3 Years (30000 ml)
Interim Service
Interval 4 Years (40000 ml)
Major Service
Interval 5 Years (50000 ml)
Interim Service
Interval 6 Years (60000 ml)
Major Service

The Mustang pricelist indicates that the services plan has to be taken on collection of the vehicle but I took the extended warranty and we agreed I could pay for the service plan with the first service.

The Ford service also includes 1 year of Ford Assist regardless of if you use the service plan or pay as you go.

I think you are being ripped off there, here is the listed price including VAT. It can be taken out anytime before the 1st service due.

Mines just past 5k miles but says engine oil needs changing.

Isn't that basically the 1st service?

Also how does the car know the oil needs changing?

This is happening on a few. You can get it sorted under warranty. Do not pay a penny! Do not let them fool you into paying for this or a service.

[MENTION=8211]stevec[/MENTION] what do you mean 'get it sorted'? ford just said it wasn't meant to be on and they just cleared the message on mine.

They changed engine oil and filter FOC under warranty

The "first service" is literally a tire rotation and oil change plus inspecting things that you'd know, by now, are leaking or not working. You surprised the dealer because nobody gets a 10K service under the name "10K Service" they just go get an oil change because, by then, the car is demanding one.
