@timhood, they normally charge the same for synthetic as they do a blend ($89.95)?

Three changes for $90 is a pretty good deal. Probably not synthetic but I'd expect it to at least be name brand Motorcraft oil and a $30 change by a dealer is a nice price.
I think the only people who pay full price at this dealership are people who don’t pay attention or are in a hurry, because the dealer seems to run specials almost all of the time. The 3/$90 deal previously included Motorcraft semi-synthetic. And I’m fine with semi-, especially at 5k change intervals. The wording in this seems different that maybe they aren’t doing that anymore, but I’ll find out the next time I need to buy one. I have 1 or 2 left on my current package. There is usually a $20-30 difference in their price between a single semi- and single full-synthetic oil change. It’s all about getting your car in the shop so that they can recommend any other work you need. 🙂 But they don’t pressure you to do it. I’ve told them, “I’ll change the air filter myself.” They do a huge business (250-500 vehicles per day), so they’ve figured out what works for them.:)
