SO i took my car to the dealer to get it serviced today and it is a night and day difference on how it drives for some reason.

I got the following:
new belt tensioner
head cover gaskets
spark plug seals
timing belt
water pump
compressor belt
power steering belt
cooling system flush
and a valve adjustment

I know i should have done it myself but i am fixing to take a long road trip friday and didnt have time but it was 1118.03 and i drove an 08 TL all day. for some reason it made me like my S even more. just thought id share

 

The difference you're feeling is due to the valve adjustment
How long did they take for the valve adjustment,should be on your invoice.

 

2.8 hours for valve adjustment
5 hours for everything else

 

not bad for all that...
