Certified Ford Service and Genuine Motorcraft Parts in Mukwonago
Using an authorized service center means your vehicle is cared for against Ford's own specifications rather than a generic standard. Certified Ford technicians complete ongoing factory training on current vehicle systems, including EcoBoost® engine platforms and modern electrical architectures. With specialized diagnostic equipment, technicians can identify minor operational variances before they turn into costly mechanical repairs, which protects both your factory warranty coverage and your vehicle's long-term resale value. You can see the full range of work handled at the Lynch Ford of Mukwonago service center.
Original equipment parts matter for the same reason. Ford states that Motorcraft® parts are designed, engineered and recommended specifically for Ford and Lincoln vehicles, and that they must pass levels of Ford certification and testing that other aftermarket parts do not. They are also backed accordingly: Ford and Motorcraft parts carry 24 months of coverage with unlimited mileage, and labor is included.‖ Whether your vehicle needs a routine filter replacement, fresh fluids or a major engine repair, using certified parts and certified labor keeps the vehicle performing the way it was built to perform. You can also order genuine Ford and Motorcraft parts directly from our parts department.

What Is Included in Ford The Works Package?
The Works is Ford's bundled maintenance package: a synthetic blend oil change combined with the tire, brake, battery, fluid and inspection items Ford calls for at a routine service visit, handled in one appointment instead of booked separately.
What the package covers
Two details are worth knowing before you book. The oil change covers up to six quarts of Motorcraft® oil plus a Motorcraft oil filter, so engines that hold more than six quarts carry an additional cost. And the battery test included in the package excludes hybrid battery testing.
Why the bundle beats booking each service separately
Regular oil changes protect internal engine components against friction and thermal breakdown, because over time engine oil loses viscosity and accumulates microscopic debris that accelerates wear on bearings, camshafts and cylinder walls. Pairing the oil service with a tire rotation balances tread wear across all four positions and extends overall tire life. Doing both in one visit, alongside an inspection that catches belt wear, fluid seepage or a weakening battery early, costs less than buying each service separately and prevents the kind of failure that strands you on the road. More routine upkeep is covered in our general maintenance advice.

How Often Ford Recommends The Works
Ford does not print one fixed mileage for oil service. Most late-model Fords use the Intelligent Oil-Life Monitor, which determines oil life from actual engine operating conditions and displays a message — ENGINE OIL CHANGE DUE or OIL CHANGE REQUIRED — in the information display when service is due.
| Situation | What Tells You It Is Time | What Ford Calls For |
|---|---|---|
| Normal operating conditions | The oil change message appears in the information display at the regular interval | Change the oil and filter within two weeks or 500 miles of the message appearing |
| Severe operating conditions — frequent short trips in freezing weather, extended idling, persistent trailer towing | The monitor shortens the interval, so the message appears sooner | Change the oil and filter when prompted, earlier than a normal-use interval |
| Monitor reset prematurely or inoperative | No reliable message, so the mileage-based fallback applies | Change the oil and filter at six months or 5,000 miles from the last oil change |
| After every oil change | Service is complete | Reset the Intelligent Oil-Life Monitor so the next interval calculates correctly |
Because the monitor reads your actual driving, there is no single mileage figure that applies to every Ford. Ford publishes a VIN-specific maintenance schedule for each vehicle, and that schedule is the authority for your truck or SUV; for most current gas models it caps the interval at one year or 10,000 miles, with normal-use intervals commonly landing between 7,500 and 10,000 miles. You can look up the schedule for your vehicle through Ford's service and maintenance tools.
Ford calls for a tire rotation and a vehicle inspection at each oil change interval. One caution worth knowing: Ford's schedule does not replace your tire manufacturer's recommended rotation interval, which may be shorter than Ford's. Our guidance on tire care covers what to watch between visits.

What Affects The Works Package Price
The Works is priced as a bundle, and a handful of variables move that bundle up or down.
| What Changes the Price | How It Affects Your Bill |
|---|---|
| Engine oil capacity | The package covers up to six quarts of Motorcraft® oil and a Motorcraft oil filter. Engines that hold more than six quarts carry the cost of the additional oil. |
| Oil type | Moving from Motorcraft synthetic blend to full synthetic, for added high-temperature protection, raises the total. |
| Engine and fuel type | Diesel and high-performance engines are priced on a separate scale, because they require specialized oil formulations, substantially larger sump capacities and heavy-duty filters. |
| Current service offers | Promotions change what you actually pay on the day you come in. |
Because promotions move the final number, the accurate figure for your vehicle is always the one posted on the current service and parts specials page or quoted by a service advisor when you schedule.◊

Lowering the bill with Ford Rewards
Ford Rewards, formerly known as FordPass® Rewards, lets members earn points on service visits and genuine parts purchases and redeem them as dollar credits against future dealership invoices, including routine work like oil changes, tires and brakes. Two conditions matter: enrollment is not automatic, so you need an activated Ford Rewards account within 60 days of the qualifying activity, and a points balance expires after 18 months of account inactivity. Service completed with non-Ford parts, along with warranty and recall work, does not earn points.◊

Frequently Asked Questions About Ford Maintenance
What is the difference between synthetic blend and full synthetic oil for Ford engines?
Synthetic blend oil combines conventional base oils with synthetic base stocks and delivers dependable lubrication for standard daily driving. Full synthetic offers greater resistance to thermal breakdown, better cold-weather flow at startup and stronger protection against sludge formation, which matters most in turbocharged EcoBoost engines and vehicles operating under heavy towing loads.
What does the multi-point inspection cover during a Works visit?
The inspection is performed during the same visit as your oil service rather than as a separate appointment. Technicians check fluid levels, tire tread depth, brake pad thickness, battery condition, belt and hose condition and the engine air filter, then report what they found. Timing varies by vehicle and shop volume, so ask your service advisor what to expect when you schedule.
Are tire rotations really necessary at every oil change?
Front tires face different steering and braking forces than rear tires, which produces uneven tread wear over time. Ford calls for a rotation at each oil change interval to balance tread depth across all four wheels and preserve consistent handling and tire life. Check your tire manufacturer's recommended interval as well, since it may call for rotation more often than Ford's schedule does.
Will using non-OEM aftermarket parts void my warranty?
No, not automatically. Under the federal Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, it is illegal for a manufacturer or dealer to void your warranty or deny a claim simply because an aftermarket part was used, and the manufacturer must be able to show that the part caused the failure. Damage that an aftermarket component does cause is not covered under the Ford New Vehicle Limited Warranty. Genuine Motorcraft parts avoid compatibility questions and carry Ford's own 24-month, unlimited-mileage parts and labor coverage.‖
