ford warranty
i own a 2012 mustang 3.7 i bought it about 2 years ago with about 8k miles about a week ago i went to go start it and it wouldn't crank i took it to ford and they called me the day after and told me the engine is stuck and they're going to need oil change receipts for the powertrain warranty i told him i change my own oil as i do every 7500 miles and he told me you need the purchase receipts . i did not keep them and now Im worried about the warranty not covering the damaged engine. if theres anyone that could help me out i would appreciate it a lot thanks.

Sorry but when the advisor puts in for approval Ford corporate will ask for receipts. Divers need to keep auto parts receipts for this case. See if your autocrats store may keep records or hopefully you bought the times on a credit card and maybe you can print out those transactions.

i wish someone would have said keep the oil receipts i trow them away

my mustang only has 30400 miles i have only changed the oil 3 times myself every 7500 miles i put Mobil 1 5W-20 Extended Performance Full Synthetic Motor Oil

i need 5w20 oil receipts ford will not fix my car with out them i didn't keep mine thanks all

but if you even double that to go every 6,000 miles yo only spend 425 on oil changes. so is the extra 425.00 comparable to a new engine? I put over 160k miles on my 99 Trans Am before getting the Mustang. Changed the oil every 6k miles. Put numerous autoX and drag strip runs on the car. Engine still ran beautifully when I sold it. (Electrical and HVAC systems were another story) Look at it this way, who do you really think knows more about proper engine maintenance, Ford Engineers or an accountant? |

Where's your evidence that 6k oil changes will require a new engine after 100k miles?

You completely missed my point..... I was just saying that the smaller the interval of changing oil doesn't cost that much more....... Ford and or any other manufacturer is out to sell cars not engines.... So their engineers are going to design a motor that will make it past the warranty stage with a said oil change interval. After that they want you to trade it in and buy a new one.... That is just society today.
I'd say that engine made it well past warranty stage, with the Ford engineer recommended oil changes and then stretching it based upon testing and analyzing the oil periodically. |
I change mine every 5,000...easy to remember when it's time for a change that way :)
