Also with an FPV it's cheaper to go & buy your 6litres of Castrol,
Mobil (or whatever your favourite oil is ) from Auto1,Supercheap,
Repco or Coventry's. Your Ford dealer will charge you $130+ for
oil worth $80 in one of the above auto shops.

In the end everybody has a horror story about dealer service just
make sure you state that they dont replace ANYTHING without your approval.

I also recommend that you tell them not to wash your car after the
service, this job usually gets handed to an apprentice!
I agree with Lane Ford down here in Mandurah. Also, they are the biggest FPV dealer in the state so hopefully that means they know their stuff.
