Don't forget the crush washer -11126AA000.

 

cool. thank you. what brand oil is suggested?

 

Uh, brand? Whatever you like as long as it meets the requirements as listed in your owners manual.

 

and why cant you change your OWN OIL????

 

that's what I did too...I lived in milpitas at the time and worked in S.F. I was getting oil changes damn near monthly.

Chill Out Cafe FTW!!!

 

i can, but I paid for them to do it along with the other maintenance and checks they perform that I cannot do

 

there isn't anything too major up to 24k miles. oil change and tire rotation except for the 15k check, which includes:

Replace Engine oil
Replace Engine oil filter
Inspect Disc brake pads and discs, front and rear axle boots and axle shaft joint portions
Perform Inspect brake lines and check operation of parking and service brake system
Inspect Clutch operation
Inspect Steering and suspension
Perform Rotate and Inspect Tires

if you don't want to drive out to santa cruz for saturday service, hopefully you can get a refund. it's a nice drive getting there too.

i went to linda's seabreeze cafe. good food.

 

yeah seriously, you can do the check yourself, dealerships SUCK at their maintenance work anyways.

 

fumuto oil drain valve + a box of oil filters + a drain pan + ramp = easy oil changes from now on.

and and u can't forget about buying oil as well

 

Don't lump us all together. That just isn't right. I can speak honestly that I'd trust the tech that works for me to do anything right. He's awesome.

 

4urabus, have you used one of those before?

My mom has an MB that the factory has just ended and I want to at least do her oil changes.

 

Do your own oil changes, its not hard and that way you KNOW it was done right. Plus with the labor money you save you can buy some expensive oil like redline
