Last time I took our 2011 in for just an oil change, my service advisor rattled off $600 worth of stuff that needs to be done at this interval. Among most of the BS change, oil, change CVT fluid, check coolant, blaa, blaaa, blaa and plus about 30 inspect & check items that seemed like snake oil.
Was just wondering what really needs to be done to this car. I drive my work trucks into the ground and only ever just change the oil every 7500 miles, transmission fluid about every 40-60 and call it a day, getting 150K+ trouble free miles.
I guess what I'm saying is can I tell the dealer to pound sand and chage the CVT fuid at say 50-60K miles instead? 30K seams too pre-mature.
Those of you that have done the 30K service, what did it iclude and how much did your dealer charge you. If you had an ind shop do the work what did they do and how much?
