My father just bought a 2017 Ford Expedition with 61k miles on it from a private party. I am wondering what he should do to now that it is his to keep it running good for as long as possible.
What sort of preventative maintenance should he do to it?
I remember scotty saying in some of his videos that a you should change transmission fluid at about 60k miles, should I do that? What else?
See below: I can’t emphasize enough being on top of your engine oil and transmission ATF fluid changes regularly, even more aggressive than the user’s manual, so every 5,000 miles for engine oil (using full synthetic) and every 40,000-50,000 miles for your transmission. Oil is (relatively) cheap but a new engine/transmission is not.

Change the ATF, coolant and also inspect the brake fluid. Change the transfer case oil if it is 4WD.
