Many owners prefer the dealer because you get OEM-spec oil and filter, a multi-point inspection, and documented service history in one visit.

That approach supports warranty compliance and consistent maintenance records for your 2016 Ford Flex. You decide based on your priorities for documentation and OEM parts.
