i have over 11,000 miles on my car. the first 3500 or so, service A minder came up. changed my oil, reset the MID, etc...

service B came up after 7k miles or something.


now service A came back again? what the hell?


shouldnt i be getting service 1?

Idk make sure with the dealer.

Just wanted to see if it happened to anyone else

pbcmedia

the service reminders go back n forth depending o the mileage

so itll b like service A, service B, service A1, B1, A12, etc, etc.... not in that specific order but you'll eventually see all of those, your manual tells you exactly which one is for what, so i advise you to look in there before going to the dealer to do the services.... saves you money IMO

yah i checked on my acura link shit and it was tire rotation. im not going to the dealer because i know they will charge over 100 for that shit lol.

Well, "A" is change the oil only. But I bet every one on here changes the filter when they change the oil. So they actually do "B" (with or with out the inspections).

I rotate my tires at every oil change. And while I've got the tires off, I check the brakes, suspension, etc. I also check/replenish fluids every time.

So I am really doing "B1" everytime so far.

do you mean cabin air filter? or oil filter? or air (or in my case, intake filter)?

i know you need to change the oil filter with every oil change (obviously), but i didnt know about any other filter.

Bearcat94

No, I mean Oil Filter.

"A"= Change Oil only.

"B" = Change Oil and Oil Filter plus various inspections.

"1" = Tire Rotation.

So far my MID has only come up with "A" or "A1" or "B" or "B1". But in reality, I've done "B1" everytime.

I am willing to be 99% of people on this site do NOT do "A" (or "A1") - they change the Oil AND the Oil Filter. And that is "B" service.

There's multiple threads on this topic

yah thats why i was asking. i was under the impression that the oil filter had to be changed with every oil change. thats what stillhere153 told me when he was changing the oil for someone.
yes but i thought this was a problem with the system. i didnt know the maintenance minders werent in order and i didnt know that the same maintenance minder comes up more than once.

Bearcat94

That is exactly what I would suggest too. And 99% of the people on this forum.

paliknight

thanks again bearcat. thats exactly what im going to do.

how much does it usually cost at the dealership to get your oil changed?

i went to a shop nearby and it was ridiculous pricing

paliknight

well it really depends on the dealership. some members reported 25 dollars, some say 30, and others reported from 50 to 100 dollars.

but i would recommend changing it yourself. i dont know anything about cars and i can do it easily. theres a DIY in the garage.
