Default Maintenance

Took my 2014 F-150 Ecoboost in for an oil change, at 45K. Two days later, I received an email from my Ford dealer with a report card showing my trans and rear diff fluids quality in red. Also suggested fuel injection and fuel/air induction in yellow category. I am the second owner. Purchased with 26K miles 5/17, so, since the vehicle was new is has only averaged 10K miles of driving annually, with no towing. Had access to the vehicles service history from 2014 and it only had to have a brake cylinder replaced at about 8K. Scheduled maintenance show nothing about trans and read diff fluids until 150K, though I believe 75-100K on both. Nothing on maintenance schedule for fuel injection and/or fuel/air induction in first 100K. Thoughts out to the group?

Thanks

The only one I would do is a pan drop/filter change of the transmission. Rear end maintenance and fuel system are not needed at this time.

go ahead and drop the pan and change the filter in the transmission. rear end service will not be needed more many more thousands of miles

It's unlikely during a regular oil change that they even checked the transmission of diff fluids. They are just trying to make money off of you.

If it was me I wouldn't mess with the transmission either at this time. I don't think it's necessary.
