how much are you guys paying the dealer for the 15,ooo mile maintenance with sythetich oil? i just want to get an idea of how much it should cost as well as what is done at the maintenance checkup.

 

The answer to your question varies very widely based on your location and what your dealer can charge in your area(what you local economy can handle). Some people on hear claim to have free maintenance. Others pay around 2 or 3 hundred. In the Northwest (Tacoma, Seattle area) I was quoted around 500. I did not have time to do the maintenance and I needed it done. I paid what I paid. I will try to become more involved with the maintenace in the future. There are many ways to reduce the cost of your 15,000 mile service ie. replacing in cabin air filter yourself, replacing your engine air filter yourself, if sedan rotating tires yourself or tell service manager not to do it. I suggest you do a search on this topic as it has been covered pretty well here before.
Good luck with your maintenance.

Mine is coming up shortly, and they told me $350, he also mentioned that included a wheel alignment, but I don't see that listed. I will probably get it all done, don't like doing that stuff myself anymore!

 

I got the in-cabin filter from Grubbs and changed it out in about 5 minutes, cleaned my Pop charger, and got a free oil-change and rotation from the local firestone. That cut $220 off of my bill at Infiniti, leaving my 15k at $30 to just "check it out".

How do you search for parts at Grubbs now? I tried looking for something, and it seems different! A "free" oil change at Firestone here would be about what it was worth, I wouldn't take an old Yugo there!
