I dropped my car at South Bay Ford In Los Angeles and they quoted me $750 to do a oil change.. Does anymore know the true "book" time to complete a oil change by ford ? I was told they have to do extensive work to get to the filter and pump the lines - however I doubt this is over 8 hrs ?
 
I paid NY Ford dealer: $225

$80 Labor (1hr)
$45 Filter
$10/qt. oil (10)

Go to:

Galpin Ford in Valley (right off exit); usually 4-6 GTs in bays
Santa Monica Ford

"extensive work to get to the filter and pump the lines", I would run for the hills, do yourself a favor and contact Kendall and Ryan at Cool Tech LLC (forum member nota4re), they're a short drive North of LAX and can expertly service the FGT. :thumbsup
 
^ Agree

Kendall/Ryan have flawlessly serviced my GT for last 5yrs

~$250+ oil changes.
 
Sarasota Ford. $172.50 or $70 labor if you supply oil and filter.

Pack of two Mann filters is $12.80 on Amazon.
 
Is it a 2017 Ford GT or a 2005/2006 FGT?

The 2017's are about $750.00 If I recall.

^^^ Good question, although this post is in the 05-06 tech sub-forum.

American dollars? There's really nothing to it. Filter is accessible, no pumping lines. You talking an '05/06, right?
 
More fun to DIY :biggrin
 
did not notice the "section " ,I just hit "What's New" and posted my question...
sorry for the mix up..

The OP may not have noticed either. Still an open question.
 
Having done mine many times, not one line is in the way, 3 plugs, and one filter. Takes longer to get the 2 pans off, and clean them, than to change the oil. Actually, cleaning the pans and underside of the car is the longest part of the whole process.
 
I paid $650 for the first oil change on my ‘17 GT but nowhere near that on the ‘06. Perhaps when he called the dealer thought he was asking about a new GT oil change.

That’s over $10 per belly pan screw! Do it yourself, it’s easy-peasy. While you’re at it, fit a quick-connect to the dry sump tank drain - that makes it even easier and lets you run a hose down into the used oil container
 
could be worse, could be Veron oil change. $20,000.00. a good deal is around $15,000.00. even still, $750-?? rip off city- sorry
 
Is the oil change procedure unique or difficult for the NFGT?
 
2017 is unique from the 05,06 but "easier" I was told by Joe Siccoli the technician at Milliken. He does my 2006FGT, Shelby Mustangs, TBird and the new 2017 FordGT.
I Had my 2017FGT done last year at 600 miles. If I recall the expensive part was the oil itself. Gold Castrol .
(He also painted one of the drain plugs yellow and said if I ever change oil myself DO NOT REMOVE that one).
