akirby Posted February 5, 2015 Report Share Posted February 5, 2015 Newer fords have intelligent oil life monitor. It looks at the engine parameters including temp and tells you when to change it - usually between 7000 - 10000 miles. OEM tires are not covered by a tread wear warranty (outside of a special maintenance plan). If you want them rotated every 5K just do it yourself or take it by a local shop - only takes a few minutes and a few bucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are several tire manufacturers that supply tires as OEM equipment on Fords and DO include a mileage warranty. Some that do not cover mileage will still cover defects and workmanship for up to 6 years from purchase or 2/32 tread wear remaining, or other limits set by each manufacturer. Pirelli covers unlimited time or mileage for workmanship or defects according to the tire warranty provided with my 2013 Edge based on thread wear remaining. It's important to check your tire brand and the warranty it came with from the factory to learn exactly what your coverage actually is. Link below for the 2013 Tire Warranty I have for my 2013 Edge. BF Goodrich and Michelin are just two manufacturers who provide mileage warranties on certain models of OEM provided tires. Most have defect and workmanship warranties beyond the Ford bumper to bumper limits. http://www.fordservicecontent.com/Ford_Content/catalog/owner_guides/13tirtw2e.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted February 5, 2015 Report Share Posted February 5, 2015 Interesting. I should have RTFM'd better. I know my Continentals weren't covered and the only other ones I got replaced under treadwear warranty were Michelin Cross Terrain replacement tires not OEM tires. I just assumed they all cut the OEM warranty to save money for Ford. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
