My FX4 needs a/c attention and is going a couple hundred miles back to the dealer I bought it from to let them take a crack at it. That dealer is a half hour from my mothers house so I guess it gives me a reason to visit her. I honestly know of no good Ford shops in this province so I will take my chances lol. Yes I change my own oil. The local dump takes used oil, containers and filters.... I can take it to work and dump it in the building sumps.... you name it. Plus I use my choice of oil and filter this way as well.

Those few dealerships that still have a decent tech make sure they never see any warranty work and are usually backed up for weeks due to demand.

With that said, if you can find a dealer with a tech in the know stick to them like glue.
