So I bought a demonstrator 2008 F150 FX4 with approximately 7,300 miles on it in December from Victor Ford. I went with the Victor Ford salesman to the other dealership, Van Drunen Ford to pick the truck up. I was told by the salesman at the dealer that owned the demo, Van Drunen Ford in front of my salesmen (from Victor Ford) that the oil had just been changed. Next oil change, 10,000 miles.
So last week I got the oil changed at 10,300 miles at Victor Ford, and the Ford Quick Lane service manager said that the seal from the factory was still on the engine (what is the seal they are referring to and what part of the engine is sealed?) and that it had NEVER had an oil change. There was also no record of an oil change in the Ford service computer. :nonono:
So now I am very worried about damage to the engine. I can’t believe that the oil was not actually changed, and can’t imagine the wear that happened with the initial break in oil in the motor for 10,300 miles.
I obsess about changing the oil at 3,000 so this is really upsetting to me.
I’ve asked my dealer (Victor Ford) to perform a compression test, leak down test and an engine oil analysis. What else should I have done? I was thinking a camera through the spark plug holes to look at the cylinder walls, but would this damage the bottom end too?
What damage was probably done and what should I be trying to get done?
My sales guy admits that the other dealer told us both that the oil had just been changed and I have it on a voicemail.
I want to do everything I can now to make sure this is not an issue later.
Does anyone have a picture of what this factory seal looks like?
Thanks to everyone in advance for their help. :beer:
