so im at the acura dealship right now, and theyre pressuring me to get a 45,000 mile service. im at 45,500. it costs 422$... is this necessary?

fsttyms1

What are they going to do for that?

yeah id like to know, cuz im going to be hitting 45k sometime this winter.

Kris what services do you recommend for 45k?

fsttyms1

Honestly... None. All i would do is keep changing the oil on your schedule, check and replace air filters (all 3) when needed and replace tranny fluid every 50-60k.

WOW.....thats one heck of a list, just do what fstyyms1 is telling you, just get an oil change, air filter, tranny fluid and call it a day =D

Half that stuff on the list they pop the hood and look down and say inspected, which you could do youself and save some money
