20000 miles first service coming up

stormlv · 09-16-2015, 03:07 PM

So my first service is coming up and I was wondering what you guys would recommend that I service on this occasion, in addition to the normal things being done.

As I understood, they weren't planning on doing much anyway:
- oil & oil filter
- pollen filter

In addition to that I also asked them to change the air filter.

Would you recommend changing anything else? Transmission / gearbox oil, etc?

Too early for diff/xfer case/tranny - I wouldn't worry until 60K or so.

If it's been two years, ask for brake fluid change (this is standard in the US/CA CBS.) Coolant, no. Fuel filter, probably not for another oil change - every third.

The air filter is often called the "silencer", btw.

Thanks for the advice. I'll do the brake fluid extra, then

I changed them 6 months ago, but the one on my side is starting to leave a few traces... I think I'm going to change them as well
