(c) lubricants; and
(d) sundries which includes items such as oil and waste recycling and or removal, workshop supplies etc,

4. How often will the prices be changed?
Ford will update the Ford website (ford.com.au/service/calculator) with any changes to the price of a Scheduled Service at times when it is appropriate to do so. Customers however have the peace of mind of knowing that for every Total Calculator Price obtained from the website there will be a “valid till” date up to which Participating Dealers will charge no more than the relevant Total Calculator Price for a Price Calculator Service. For the avoidance of doubt, any changes to the prices for a Price Calculator Service will only apply to Special Vehicles first sold after the date of the change.
