Default Serviced at 72K Miles

So had to do an oil change and decided to get it tuned up since I plan on driving the **** out of it. Had the oil and filter changed. All fluids topped off. Transmission flushed and other stuff that needed fluids changed or topped off. Bit the bullet but should be good moving forward. I had just done oil changes since I got it at 32K. 30,000 of those miles were me commuting for over a year everyday, so easy hwy miles.

I really like my Black Sport 3.0!

Screw the haters

Uh, ok? Is there some point you wanted to make or you just wanted to let us all know that you changed your fluids?

I drank a glass of water, and then I took a leak, so my fluids are all set too.

But I do have to agree - I love my cat too - and yeah, Skru the H8rs!!

I am going to make an attempt to make this thread somewhat relevant and pull it back from the brink of bestiality.

So, jjones I'm guessing you had your servicing done at the dealer? Perhaps if you could share the cost of the tranny flush that would in some way provide a minute bit of usefulness from this exercise for other members who may be planning the same.

My reply to this thread is im coming close to 60k miles... Should I have all these things done to my car? Also, when should one change spark plugs and normal maintenance when reaching high mileage?

I also would like to know if you took it to the dealer or took it to some shop?

Also...There's been a lot of harsh comebacks from a few members lately on a number of posts.. If you don't like the post.. don't reply.... Let's keep these forums friendly... were all kind of a small family anywho...

I actually had it serviced at a local shop that I take it for non warranty related issues. The transmission flush was the bulk of cost. They flushed it with I believe 20 quarts. For oil change and filter, transmission flush, power steering fluid etc it came to $700. I'll grab the receipt to see what the actual flush was.

I just knew you guys would sleep better at night knowing I gave 'er a good tune-up so I can keep driving it for years to come

Can you decipher any point to this thread other than to waste bandwidth? I couldn't... Hence the smart *** comment.

I noticed the smart-*** comment, good work on that. However, you keep coming into the thread to make comment. If you think it's a waste of bandwidth then stay the f@ck out and don't read it. That's the beauty of a forum.
