Default 10K Service tomorrow...

Well, actually 9800 miles (but who's counting). It's time. And I finally get to change the oil. Here is a list of what I am having done.

- Oil Change: Red Line 5W-30
- Oil Filter: Mecca (if it fits)
- MT Fluid: Red Line MT-90
- Spark Plugs: NGK BKR6E [6962]
- Fix Rear Tail Light: Driver Side (reverse & brake lights do not work)
- Rotate Wheels
- Adjust APR Exhaust: Muffler/Tip not centered.


What else is done for the 10K Service?

Default They'll check for and erase any fault codes and probably..

check your VIN to see where it falls into the coil pack issue. Have them check your wiper blades as well. You may just complain that they are smearing the windshield as I have heard of some dealers not replacing them free of charge without a little coaxing. Also, some may try to charge you for the rotation...Be careful! As for what SHOULDN'T be done....NO WASHING!!!!!!! Way too many horror stories.

Most of it, yes. If something is not part of the 10K, they may or may not charge me.

Default I don't think CP's are an issue with mine, but I'll find out anways.

Wiper blades are not a big deal since I rarely use them (plus I use Klasse on the windshield and never really have to use them). I thought rotation was part of it. Anyways, no biggy. And I never have them wash my car(s). NEVER! They know this, but I always mention it. I have a good relationship with my dealer; they know me and my car.

Default You should be good to go then.. The rotation seems..

to vary from dealer to dealer. Mine was no charge but have read here that others haven't been as lucky. You're lucky about the CP's.....I have had 2 seperate failures at EXACTLY the same point on a road near my house.....Come to think of it, I was going to the same place each time. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.......

Default I'm way ahead of you 8^ )

My dealer knows me quite well and my car gets excellent service/care. We have an understanding when I bring it in for anything; no one touches it except two people I trust. And no wash. I usually wait for it as well and get to watch. Very friendly/helpful. Couldn't ask for much better.

Default i always have my dealer wash my car.

They do a good job, and yes, they hand wash it.
