30,000 Service List What's BS???
 

Here is what I got from my dealer for the 30,000 service. Mine is an 04.5 6MT It's 569.95 plus tax and shop fees... LOL

Replace engine oil and filter
Replace drain plug gasket
Complete Lubrication
Replace Auto Tranny oil
Replace climate control seat filters
repalce differential oil
replace engine air filter
replace coolant with flush
replace engine drive belts
replace in-cabin micro filter
replace manual tranny fluid
replace radiator cap
repalce wiper blades
replace spark plugs
perform multipoint inspection
check and top off all fluids
inspect air conditioning systems
adjust tire pressure
inspect exhaust system
inspect steering gear and emission system
check idle speed
inspect fuel and vapor lines
inspect brake caliers, rotors and pads...


By the way, they want 369.95 for front brembo pads.... they lasted 22k though

Obviously, replacing the fluids, belts, and filters is good.
Climate control seat filters?!?!?! What is that?

LOL I copied this list verbatum from their little service booklet. I think the only thing I might not have put is the auto tranny oil because mine is a 6mt Everything else is typed just as whats on the paper....

I thought those were platinum-tipped and didn't need replacing until 100K?:confused:
And why do you need to replace your radiator cap? :confused: :confused: :confused:
If they do replace the cap, make sure it says "Nismo":D

Check the tire pressures yourself. Changing the incabin and air filters is ridiculously easy. This alone will probably save you $100.

I haven't had a 30K service as yet but according to a price guide I have from the dealer it should be $339 and include

oil and Filter change

Check Fluid levels

Multi-paint inspection

Inspect exhaust system

inspect steering gear linkage

inspect axel and Suspension

Rotate tires*

inspect brakes

inspect Battery

replace air filter

inspect and clean cabin mircofilter

inspect drive shaft boots

inspect vacuum hoses

Drain and refill trans oil 4 qt

coolant should be changed at 60K not 30k

What's the point of checking idle speed? It's computer controlled... At least they didn't put lubricate antenna mast.

wow...i got a quote for like $380....whats the deal with $569 ...hmmm

From what I remember, the following are NOT part of a typical 30k service:

Replace Auto Tranny oil
repalce differential oil
replace coolant with flush
replace engine drive belts
replace manual tranny fluid
replace radiator cap
replace spark plugs


The only one I'd do would be the coolant flush if it had been over 2 years. The rest are ADP (additional dealer profit).

A word of advice:

If you pick and choose which services to have them perform, you better make sure the overall price is cheaper than this total 30K service list. Common sense would suggest that it would be cheaper, but the reality may differ. Better safe than sorry. Check with the service manager on the individual cost of only the service items you want done.

No, when they say "replace", they mean they will screw it back on for you AFTER putting the fluid in...weak huh...

So when they close the door, are they "replacing" the door? :D

In that case, they'll be "replacing" the hood, the engine cover, the doors, your dipsticks, the caps to all your fluids and all your screws. That's DEFINITELY worth $600! :D Go for it!

Make sure to check the Infiniti Owners Manual and see what the official 30k service requires. A lot of the service may be added by the dealer as 'recommended services' and are not needed!

I heard it's a good idea to do the differential service. I question spark plugs and drive belts though.

Do the incabin filter yourself. You can get an aftermarket air filter for like $10, Purolator I think.

can anybody list the BRANDS of the fliuds and goodies they used for the replacements?
