I bought a 2003 Ford Windstar last fall through CarMax. The manual was in the glovebox, but apparently Ford, unlike all other carmarkers, puts the maintenance guide in its own book instead of with the manual. It’s approaching 45,000 miles, but I don’t know what all it needs for service besides an oil change. CarMax has some flat-rate 45,000 mile service that costs something like $200, which feels like a rip-off to me. Can anyone tell me what I need to have done?
