Can somebody tell me what's all involved in the 30K service b/c i now have 40K miles and I didn't get the service done yet. Thanks.

Off Topic...my rims are heavy as hell, but they bling so it's all good. I ran a 16.5(deduct .6 for elevation)....last year I ran a 15.5 w/o intake...but I guess my car only had 25k miles then.

 

When I got mine done, it was pretty much fluids, plugs, filters, and other silly sh!t that just needs to get done. They'll probably inspect other wear and tear parts to make sure their allright. It's mostly labor too -- mine was $550 at my Acura/Honda mechanic.

 

Okay I am no way near them miles. But heres the MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE from my dealership.
For 00 TL & UP at 30,000 mile service change oil/filter check idle speed,inspect & adjust alternator,power steering & A/C belts. Change automatic trans oil,inspect cooling system & hoses.

Doesn't sound to me like it's worth the 550! I had my tranny oil changed, but that's about it. Guess i have to remember the A/C filter I guess.

 

don't u have extended warranty, thats what its made for huh, i would keep on driving that thing and only get oil changes not the 15k thng or the 30k thing

 

FYI Some dealerships will refuse extended warranty service (even if you have paid for it) if you do not keep up scheduled maintenance in good faith. Don't want to void that thing...

Get the 30K service done. It will save you a lot of heartache down the road. Plus, if you trade it in down the road and the dealership sees that the 30K wasn't done, then you might lose some value.
