From Fort Mill Ford in South Carolina. Somehow, they took a Time Machine and set their service pricing to 1996 rates!

Well, if it's too good to be true, it usually is.

There's a "disclaimer" by the title (signified with the "5") which would have additional fine print details, likely near the bottom of the page. My guess is this is a basic oil change on a very basic/small vehicle, and prices go up from there. There's no way that's for a Bronco.

I can do it myself for less.

I'd expect this quality of oil for that price:

Read the fine print.

Some vehicles may be slightly higher... Price does not include shop supplies...

It's also not fully synthetic - It's a blend. Call them and inquire. But I'm going to guess the price at least doubles.

Targeted campaign probably for customers that haven't been back in a certain period of time.

I thought this post was all about "How could this be true?!" I didn't realize you had already gone there or got an estimate

I still get a bad vibe off this, but hey, that's probably just me being paranoid. Congrats on the good deal.

Most vehicles require 7 quarts now, and they charge you shelf price for the additional oil over the included 5, which is usually $10-15 a quart.

Did they rotate all 5?

Yeah, the service advisor couldn't believe it either, but said, "Well, I guess if we emailed it, we have to honor it."

I've got the 2.3, which takes 6.2 qts. I'm just happy to get the tire rotation without jacking up the rig!

Cheap oil changes are somewhat common at dealers, although that price was extra cheap.

It's a lost leader, businesses have been doing this for years to get you in the door.

As long as you're there, you know it's time for new filters at 110 bucks, transmission fluid, radiator washout ..... you get the idea.

I'll never forget when a dealer told me they wanted over 100 bucks to replace an air filter. I looked at him and said, that job takes less than 2 minutes and that's if I stop to drink my coffee for a minute and a half.

Ive taken mine in 4 times now. Its 79.95 for synthetic with 5 tire rotation. After taxes and shop supplies it comes out to 90 something. Totally worth it to me vs going to the store to buy the oil and filter, making a mess in my driveway, disposing of the oil (properly), and then the struggle of getting under the car and back up (Im old and lazy). Thats doesnt even factor in the rotation.
