Now in the poor guy's defense, it's probably part of a spiel he's said hundreds of times and he was just running on autopilot. I bet it didn't even register and if he realized later what he'd said, he'd be mortified. But it made me chuckle.

I just listened to a voice mail a dealer left me about a used Mach-E they got in. They'd cleaned it up, installed new wipers and changed the oil! Amazing!
Wow, maybe it has a ton of miles on it. I think the service manual does call for an oil change on the front drive motor I believe. It's down the road a bit though.......wayyyyy down the road. Doubt it needed it.

It has just shy of a 1000 according to their website.

That must have been the most expensive oil change in the world. They installed an ICE, changed the oil and then removed the ICE. :

Give the windshield washers a try...see if there's an oil sheen...

You should call him back and tell him to find out if they used Mobil 1 because thats all you use and if they didnt youd like new oil and filter done with Mobil 1
C'mon - read your manual. You know the car can only take Mobile E.

At least they left the blinker fluid alone.

Six months after I leased my Kona EV, the dealer called to say I was overdue for the 1st oil change and wanted to schedule. I almost brought it in to watch the result.
