stupac2 Report post Posted February 19, 2010 Hi all, this car (the FFH) is the first car I've owned whose condition I cared at all about (my only previous car was a total clunker I used to get from point A to B in high school), and I'm wondering what the maintenance should be like. I'm assuming that whatever the owner's manual recommends is overly aggressive, but that's only out of cynicism. Should I keep to that schedule to as large an extent as possible? Also, for oil changes, what kinds of oils are recommended? I saw a couple in a different thread, and I've read that hypermilers use thinner oils, but my knowledge of this kind of thing is rather poor. Additionally, is there any reason to have this done at a dealership rather than Jiffylube (or whatever), or doing it myself? I'm not sure if my dealership gave me the free oil changes others mentioned. Thanks. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Howie411 Report post Posted February 19, 2010 I'd never take my car to jiffy lube or good year, they always seem to find something wrong. And also with this being a new year model car and a Hybrid, I'd rather have a trained tech doing it. I'm pretty sure at the Ford dealership they have specifically trained Hybrid Techs or so I was told. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
