• Thanks. Found something similar so I guess the guy was just getting it mixed up and it sounds a bit more reasonable.

    Now I've just got to battle my OH to get sign off. She thinks these things are cons. While I'm inclined to agree, I'm disinclined to skip a major service for peace of mind and dealer stamps/resale.

  • My rule of thumb is main dealer til out of warranty,, then specialist / or DIY if you are handy and/or mileage north of 100k. Retain receipts for fluids and filters if you DIY. Changing fluids is essential maintenance and the stamps are vital for resale value.
