Nothing about the vehicles changed though.

Waitasec, you mean they changed the severe service interval back to 3 months / 5,000km for the '09 MY?
The '08 MY is 6 months / 8,000km on severe service duty which is what I follow.
Would explain Dixie Ford's not being able to compute a six month interval when calling me for service appts. though <_<
