Yep, EB oil change is also at every 10K. But like i said, just for the sake of it, if the dealer says it's before, then it's before. Don't want to give them an excuse to void your warranty do you?

I didn't know the individual dealers could void the warranty based on what they think is the right thing to do and not the manufacturers suggestion.

Then again, my warranty will go out the window as soon as a hang a plow on it.


Back on subject.
I have put gas in it so far and that is it.
5000 miles or so.
going to have the dealer do an oil change and tire rotation for 40 bucks when the time comes.

Thanks for the replies everyone. Any 2009 or 2010 owners out there with more miles on their trucks?

Bunch of misinformation on here. Your manual will show you what maintenance needs to be done when. Oil when the Intelligent Oil Life Monitor tells you to, which is either 1 year, 10,000, or before, depending on your usage. There is no "change it at 2,500", there is no "every 5,000 miles" and there is no "it's different for an eco-boost". The manual tells you the EXPECTED interval depending on your usage (normal or severe), but the Intelligent Oil Life Monitor tells you when. And no, the dealer cannot void your warranty at all. Ever. The dealer can report things to the manufacturer (not including didn't change your oil when they suggested you should), but the manufacturer provides the warranty, not the dealer.

The ONLY maintenance you will see before 100,000 is negligible, oil changes, tire rotations, visual inspections, and perhaps an air filter. That's basically it.

My 2010 Fusion Hybrid is 7 years old and has over 60,000 miles. Rear brakes had to be replaced due to corrosion (not wear), and new tires. Besides that, oil change.

Your expenses should be minimal, less than $50 a year on average for at least the first five years, absent new tires.

Default Maintenance list. 87k

87,000 miles
Oil changes every 5k
Tire rotation every 5k
Tire balance every 10k
Both front shocks due to one leaking at 45k
Trans oil change at 60k (tow frequently)
Plugs changed at 60k
Battery replaced at 4 years (I change 'em before failure)
Coolant replaced at 85k
Replaced four air filters
One set of P rated tires at 30K, a second set of P rated replaced with LT at 60k
Under warranty: Boost sensor & wire harness

Am chasing an intermittent park aid failure that began this month. Possibly a connection (rough washboard roads fix & fail it).

Brake pads are >50%
