RAS43, that is what I am trying to determine. It does include DEF, wiper blades, oil changes, tire rotation, but not sure if this is a break even price, loss, or a savings. Just maintenance, not an extended warranty. According to the manuals there isn't any major service required until after this plan would expire.
Based on a 7,500 mile service interval this plan would cover six oil changes and other items listed above.
I can tell you what some of that cost me at the dealer about month ago with something like 5,500 miles on it. The oil was at 30% but it was the factory oil and we were leaving on a 1,000 mile round trip. I had the oil changed which was $76, tires rotated $14, 3 1/2 gallons of DEF $36.
We're taking another trip the end of July about the same miles so I'll have that done once more plus the fuel filter probably when we get back.
So that's $126 twice a year, plus whatever the fuel filter is. A good set of wiper blades are what?... $20? But I also tend to change oil sooner that I have to, so it may work out different for someone else.
Now...I did buy the extended warranty (10 years, 100,000 miles) for about $2k because I intend to keep this truck until one of us turns to dust.
