You are correct, I did forget that useful piece of information. I do have a hybrid. I was trying to post in the Hybrid forum... I hope I didn't miss but thanks for asking. It sounds like it does make a differenc.

Are you sure you have a hybrid manual? Mine says 10K in two separate areas, one is at the back in the service chart. 5K for tire rotations and quick-check of front.

Actually, no. This was a manual that I got off the internet supposedly for all 2010 Fusions. I will have to put my hands on the original I have but since I was at my computer last night I took the easy way. If they're recommending a 5K service when a 10K would be fine this makes it worse. I took the car to have the oil changed after 1K because it's something I've always done on a new car just to get rid of any metal fragments that may have been created during the break in period. I was also going to put a bunch of miles on it during a trip. My thought was that it sure couldn't hurt to change it early. The sticker in the car says the next oil change is due at 5000. I can't help but think it's a revenue maker.

thanks for the replies.

That 3k crap had its merit at one point in time, and has only become obsolete because of vast improvements in engine design along with much improved engine oil technology.

 

However, it often still comes down to how you drive, and what kind of driving conditions you will encounter. There is a reason why commercial service vehicles often change their oil based on hours of operation isntead of pure mileage.

Could someone direct me to where it says anything about 10K oil changes? My owners manual says 7500 miles but the dealer just e-mailed me and said I was due for my 5K service. I know they want to make extra money but I don't want to get service just to give them money. Then again, I purchased an extended warranty and I don't want to give them any excuses not to honor it.

Any advice?

Thanks,

I priced the warranty at http://buy-ford-warranty.com/ and then called my dealer to see if they would match it. They did so I bought it there.

Just as a reference, I changed the wheels and tires on my Prius to something that looked MUCH better with Goodyear Triple Treads and I took about a 5mpg hit on the mileage. I guess it just depends on what's most important.

The instructions are in the NAV supplement, not the Owner's Manual. But to summarize:

 

Insert a CD

Press Record

Wait

Done

Thanks to both of you. I figured I was just looking in the wrong section. I think I might even be able to follow the instructions above! :happy feet:

Could someone please point me in the right direction regarding loading music on the 10GB hard drive that I believe they call the Jukebox? I've looked in the owners manual and I just don't see it. I believe I read that it is NOT in the SYNC manual but the car owners manual. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Dave
