That's pretty stupid. I hope they don't do their own oil changes as well!
Well I'm pretty stupid. I allowed the Ford dealer to do my first free oil change. They added more than 2 quarts too much of the wrong oil. They admitted that they have done the same to every 6.7 diesel for more than 2 years. I was the only stupid person that caught it. Been doing my own for well over half a century, guess it's best to continue.
It's not as exciting as having your vehicle at WOT because of a dealer oil change, though. Luckily, I was on open road with a convenient pull-off after I killed the engine.
Cause---Dealer's tech required to check air filter at oil changes. When reassembling, the canister bit off a piece of the air filter flange that eventually lodged in the throttle body. Ford has a totally different flange material since 2005.
