Preparing For First Service

[Rays1]

Ours is going in on the 8th July for its 25,000 mile service too.

I see from your signature your ST is a 2023 model the same as mine, so will this be its second service in a year?
I am wondering if the plugs are changed on the ST at the second service, but have read conflicting reports about this.

On the ST, spark plugs should be renewed at every yearly service interval.
See the service schedule to confirm, it is shown on the/your Ford pass App. (I suspect some dealers will try wriggle out if yearly mileage was/is low). Brake fluid renewal is recommended every two years.

I have seen this on the service schedule...but I assumed it was a mistake because I refuse to believe that spark plugs require replacing annually or every 12,500 miles.
I would be very interested to hear from anybody that has had spark plugs replaced on their ST at the first service.

My 2 service Plan is provided by my dealer and does not include brake fluid, but I will be refusing it at second service because I know for sure it will not need done.
I hope this doesn't start a brake fluid debate.

Yep, it is a mistake about the spark plugs needing to be changed every year. I've spoken to my dealer about this and they have shown the schedule to be every two years.

I've had 2 services and plugs on second service only.
No break fluid on either.

My Jan 22 ST is going to have its third service shortly at about 35K miles.

First one, no Plugs.

Second one, Plugs and Brake Fluid

Had my service carried out this morning, I was waiting for just over 2 hours.
I told them not to wash it or adjust the tyre pressures and the receptionist wrote it on the job sheet and hightlighted it.
Door rubbers were fixed back into position, recovery and assistance package renewed for another year, and scoring on rear discs noted but said no action necessary.
I meant to ask just for my curiosity how much the service would have cost if I was paying on the day, but I forgot.
My locking wheel nut key had been taken out of the glovebox and left on the passenger seat which would imply that the wheels were removed...which is strange because I have never previously owned had any car that required wheels off at first service.
Having a service is always a slightly nervous time for me, so I'm glad its all over now.

Ron have they updated your electronic service history? Be interested to know as so many dealership simply forget about it. (Takes just 24hrs for it to appear on the App) and if not and before you realise it your service history is incomplete.

The girl said it would be updated but I have not checked.
I use Ford Pass Pro and I'm not sure if it is shown on that.
I have all the paperwork to prove the service has been done though.

It's on the Ford pass but not on the pro version.
