does the dealer tell you when you need an oil change? Im new to the dealer thing....otherwise how do you know when to change the oil? I am used to my old 1995 BMW 325i E36 and the computer usually let me know when..
A light in the dash will turn on. It is not clear whether this is an actual oil life monitor that may come on at different mileages based on driving conditions, or if it just counts 10,000 miles (the service interval listed in the owner's manual, although the manual says that the light may come on at intervals "up to" 10,000 miles). The owner's manual gives instructions on how to reset the light after changing the oil.
Even if you forget about the light (if it does not turn on), it is easy to remember 10,000 miles.
Note that there are some other services to do, such as rotating the tires and doing inspections.
Dealers often suggest more frequent service intervals than owner's manuals (this is not unique to Ford dealers).
It only took 24 minutes from when I pulled in until it was ready for me to drive away. The service guy wasn't sure that they even had an oil filter for a Fiesta, however the FL-910S is used on several Ford vehicles so they had them on the shelf.
