I need to do the first maintenance on my '08
I know how to change the oil and filter, but what else is supposed to be done?
I've got the service manual, should I only do the things in the maintenance time table that are marked for 600mi break-in?
What would the dealer do if I took it to them?
I don't have $200-300 to throw away so the dealer can change the oil and tighten the exhaust bolts. F that
This is what's listed on the Maintenance Schedule
Maintenance and Lubrication: 0B-1
Tighten exhaust pipe bolts and muffler bolts
Replace engine oil and oil filter
Inspect throttle cable play (defintely need to do that)
Inspect drive chain
Inspect brakes
Inspect steering (inspect what?? yea it turns wtf am I looking for?)
Tighten Chassis bolts and nuts (uh which ones? all of them? omg that'll take forever!)
If the valve clearance and things like that need to be inspected/adjusted, I might just take it in. I don't have tools for that kind of job.
Or a garage, just an apartment complex parking lot.. yay
Probably going to have to end up buying a torque wrench, I hope those aren't too expensive.
I tried searching for threads on this, but I wasn't able to find the specific information I was looking for. Maybe I wasn't using the best search terms..
If there's already a thread on this that I missed, I'd appreciate the link.
Thanks guys!
