Looking at a 2021 truck with 38Kmi that has Carfax available on the dealer website.
Carfax shows oil changes at 9,200mi avg interval, with 10,200mi the highest. All oil changes at their dealership.
8Kmi recommended, and this truck has a Class IV hitch and trailer brakes so probably should have been done at 3.5-5Kmi.
Noted above on telcon w/salesman. He called back to say his Service Mgr. said actual oil change interval is much lower based on his documentation.
"OK"
Interesting that the "missed" Carfax documentation of oil changes is consistent -record shows a regular oil change around 9K mi.
Q:
Reasonable to assume that any service dept. can add backdated Carfax entries to tell whatever story they want?
Doubt I'll believe any "corrected" record they show me -my cynical nature won't allow it LOL.
I always review Carfax when made available. It has value, but I don't blindly trust it.
