24 Months & 16,XXX Miles...Which Maintenance Service??
24 Months & 16,XXX Miles...Which Maintenance Service??
Whats up all...I've got a dilemma. As you can see, I don't have a lot of miles on my car but i have had it about 2 years now. My question is, I don't know which service to get. Do I got with the 15,000 (12 month) service or the 30,000 (24 Month) service?? What do you guys think?
I get an oil change about every 3000 miles since I got the car. I also changed the in-cabin and engine air-filter myself about 3 months ago. Thanks!
These are included in both the 15K and the 30K Service:
Replace engine oil and filter
Replace in-cabin microfilter (N/A, changed myself)
Lubricate all locks/hinges
Replace engine air filter (N/A, changed myself)
Replace wiper blades
Rotate tires (except G35 coupe)
Inspect All lights
Inspect Axle & suspension parts
Inspect Brake lines & cables
Inspect Brake calipers, pads, rotors
Inspect Cruise control vacuum hoses
Inspect Drive shaft boots
Inspect Exhaust system
Inspect Front suspension ball joints
Inspect Propeller shaft (except I35)
Inspect Steering gear and linkage
Inspect Steering linkage ball joints
These are included in the 30K service but is NOT included in the 15K service:
Replace climate-controlled seat filters
Replace differential oil (except I35)
Replace engine coolant/flush system
Replace engine drive belts
Replace manual transmission oil
Replace radiator cap
Replace transfer case oil (AWD FX35/45, G35x) (N/A, I have a Coupe)
Inspect Fuel lines / connections
Inspect Fuel tank vapor vent system hoses
Inspect Headlights / adjust if necessary
I am leaning towards the 30K service since they service the transmission but its also seems that some of the things are not neccessary because of my mileage.
Thanks in advance for reading the long post!

I can tell u from personal experience dont waste your time on the full 30 or 15k mile services. I work for a lexus dealership and i can tell u that most of the techs in the shop, if it says "inspect" they dont even bother, they replace whats supposed to be replaced and ship the car. plain and simple. talk to the advisor and figure out if its cheaper to do the individual services u need done.

I would never do a 15k service. Everything you can do yourself, which you've done 
Dealership service is a rip off. Even 30k service, you can do almost all of it yourself. None of the belts need replacing - thats just another rip off!
