2006 Maintenance, What have you done?

OK, i know this schedule is posted:

https://acurazine.com/forums/showthread.php?t=24744

But I wasn't sure is there any difference between 2005 schedule and 2006.

Also,

New owners, has anyone been in for maintenance yet? I'm about to get the oil change, but my car also says Service B is 15% away. Anyone else near this?

Dunno about the service B1. Mine started asking for an A1 service last week, 15% oil life left. I called the dealer and he said its just an oil change. I have dealer coupons for this, so I called to have it scheduled on a day I could drop it off and take a loaner. Now my service advisor says "No loaners for an oil-change only service."

I'm infuriated personally. I know its a stupid oil change (20 mins) but I was promised a loaner for EVERY service, EVERY time I drop the car off. Let this just be another word of caution about how a salesman will say anything to get you to commit. I'll just have to have them do it some morning soon and be a little late to work.

Yeah, they told us oil change only as well when we called. How many miles are you at for your first oil change?

that's what mine is at, but it is calling for service B1, which i thought was at 10,000. i know it needs oil change, but i don't know why it would need B1.

If your salesman told you that he was probably just trying to close the deal. I would have found the guy and asked him why you didn't get a loaner... he probably would have looked at you like you had a third eye in your forehead. The normal policy is only for maintenance over 2 hours and then you normally need to call ahead and schedule. For an oil change that only takes 20 minutes, where were you going to go anyway? I wouldn't expect a loaner for that.

how often to they take you in and turn it out in 20 minutes?

i'd rather just drop it off, take a loaner, and pick it up tomorrow! i guess this is another reason to go lexus over acura. oh well.

I just had the oil changed on mine last week. Damn "service car soon" kept coming up till it started saying "service due" then I took it in. Changed the oil free of charge (I think that's something all Acura dealers in Canada do for the first one or 2 oil changes.)

gas mileage hasn't improved much but my lead foot's not gotten any lighter.
