Service intervals

I did a bit of a search but may have used the wrong perameters ...

Anyone have a listing of the letter designation ( Eg A1, B2 ) of all the services and what each consists of?

TYIA.

A:
Change Engine Oil
B:
Change Engine Oil & filter
Check front and rear brake wear
Check Parking brake adjustment
Inspect the following items:
-Tie rod end, steering gear box and boots
-Suspension component
-Brake hoses and lines (includes ABS)
-All fluid levels and condition of fluids
-Exhaust system
-Fuel lines and connections
1: Tire rotation
2: Replace air filter element, dust and pollen filter
3: Replace transmission fluid
4: Replace spark plugs and timing belt, check valve clearance, inspect water pump
5: Replace engine coolant

You'll see A1 or A2 or B1 or B2, etc. on your MID when service becomes necessary. You'll also receive messages like "SERVICE DUE SOON" when oil life is at 15%, "SERVICE DUE NOW" at less than 5%, and "SERVICE PAST DUE" at 0% oil life.

copied this from what Hawhyen51 said in a previous post.

There are alot of posts out there related to engine service.

that is correct.

See not too hard to decipher it.

This is all listed in your manual as well, to help you figure out which service is due when it comes up on your MID

Always change the filter when you change the oil, even though the A1 doesn't tell you to.

The list is in your owner's manual also.
