So I am out of my Ford Pass Rewards, any real reason to still take it there for oil changes, I usually just do it myself at home with Mobil 1 and what's the best way to document the proof of a DIY oil change?

@armoredsaint do it yourself. Prices at stealership are going up and almost double what it would cost you on your own. Buy your oil and filter, write down on the receipt the mileage you changed the oil at and in what day and keep the receipt for your records. Maybe scan it to yourself as a pdf. That’s what I do. My dealership wants almost $90 for full synthetic oil change and I can do it for about $40 in 30 minutes. Super easy

I drive past two other Ford dealers to get to where we bought ours. For what they do: oil and filter change, inspection, and tire rotation, it is well worth MY money. Crawling underneath to change oil and filter is a younger man's job, and rotating tires w/o a lift is more work than I feel up to doing any more. Taking it to the dealer and having them do the work, getting a full car wash while "window shopping" & drinking a couple cups of their hot beverages makes it an even better deal. I make sure that my engine and cabin air filters are clean so they can 't try and sell me replacements. Sooner than later, I'm going to need tires, brakes, and a new battery so I'll compare their rates to the competition (which may include DIY on the easy ones). FWIW, we bought a full set of tires from Quick Lane for my wife's previous car and the Ford price, including road hazard, was cheaper than Discount, Big O and another local shop minus road hazard policies. Before we parted with that vehicle, we ended up getting three replacement tires for the costs of transferring the warranty 3X.
I had an oil change at a local Ford dealer and the monkey who changed my oil made a big mess on the frame. Oil was spilled everywhere. I used the Fumoto valve and they said it cause oil pressure issue when I brought my Exp for cam phaser replacement in June lol.
