Ford F-250 servicing for Caloundra West owners
We're 5 minutes from Caloundra West, so most Ford F-250 owners drop the truck off in the morning and collect it the same afternoon. The 6.7 Power Stroke is a strong engine that depends heavily on fuel and coolant system maintenance. Dual-loop cooling, a high-pressure fuel system and a DPF that needs completed regeneration cycles all mean the truck rewards a service schedule matched to how it's driven — and punishes one that isn't.
