Fuel Injection
Hey guys! I just bought a used 2016 XLT 5.0. Not knowing the Maintance records, I’m debating on getting a fuel injection clean at my local oil change place. Anyone done this on this engine? Is it worth it at 78,000 miles?
Change plugs and transmission fluid. I'd trust the Ford dealership to do the transmission before I trust an oil change shop. I trust oil change shops for oil changes, used them for many years.
I'd prefer somebody a bit more familiar with the super expensive transmission that has a fluid requirement to do the service.
It's not cheap.
You have no maintenance aside from plugs and transmission. Differentials if you're ambitious.
My 2016 ecoboost rolled 70,000 a few weeks ago.
Note: are you are about to be instructed to do your own oil changes because oil change shops are in business to damage vehicles. If you have had luck at your oil change place, continue if you wish not to change oil. I haven't changed my own oil in over 10 years. Neither motor has seized (yet). Trust us though, it will happen. LOL

Unnecessary at any mileage. If you have issues, consider it. But don't use your oil change shop for injectors. Issues you may have that you think is a result of an injector is probably not an injector at all. if that's all you think is required for maintenance because many years ago that was a thing, then forget you once knew about injector cleanings.
