I like to use Speedco. A 24' should be able to use any oil change place. Including a Ford dealer.

Any service center with a pit will be fine. The limiting factor is how high the ceiling is in the garage if they have to put it on a lift.

I went to a speedco one time and they said they would have to go to the parts house to get the filter because they didnt stock it. So I would at least carry some oil and filter in case.

Not some place with a zit face kid tring to push fan belts, radiator fluid, and tire air on you.

That would be places that have Speedy, Jiffy and the like in their name.

I used to work at an independant shop and saw the results of their work.

I buy one of the $8 plastic oil drain units, MotorCraft oil filter and oil at Walmart, then change the oil myself.
I leave the old oil at a recycle center. When I'm back home I use a Ford truck center to do the job.($50.00) I also asked for and got some of the oil change stickers from Ford, helps me keep track, and satisfies the folks at Ford that the warranty oil change was done by them.
Maybe not 100% honest, but real hard to find a oil change place that doesn't want to charge an arm or leg, or can't do the work correctly while on the road
