Recommended Service Schedule

Do you guys follow the recommended service schedule for your CL? I got a 30K mile service coming up and I am not too sure its necessary. They do a whole lot of inspection/adjusting. I already did the oil change and tire rotation, but since I have the extended warranty I'm wondering if its necessary to perform the actual 30K maintenance.

I Do.

The 30k is more then just an oil change and a tire rotation. Air Filter and Pollen Filter should also be changed... Along with the checks they do, I usually have my dealer take care of the list of things that need to be addressed since last service (this time - parking brake adj. and wiper arm adj.).

I've got 31K miles on my CLS, so I'm overdue for my 30K... I have to call a newly opened Acura dealer for a price check and to see what kind of loaners they provide.

I try to do the same, as far as having the dealer check out other things that need to be addressed, but everything seems fine right now. I guess it wouldn't hurt for them to check everything out, make sure everything is in order.

fyi - my dealer charges $289 for the entire 30k service, with loaner.

https://www.ahm-ownerlink.com for the maintenace schedule online...

Many dealers will want to do alot of stuff that's not recommended in the owners manual or ownerslink website as far as service goes.

I got quoted $500 for the 30K from Inskip Acura, and they wanted to do a bunch of stuff that's not listed in the official acura maintence schedule. You have to watch out for that.
