The filter at most is $11 inc GST so $54 for oil. That's alot of oil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest navy blue Guests Posted 08/09/04 01:16 PM Share Posted 08/09/04 01:16 PM Going in 4 the 3000 km complimentary service next week on my BA XR6 NA. Just need a few things done. Car has done only 2200km but the 4 months is nearly up so betta get it done in time. Is this complimentary service totally free, assume it is as the name says.Check brakes as I think still a little stiff and not braking hard enough/not responsive enough. Is this chargeable or come under warranty?Fix a few window trim paint inperfections picked up pre delivery.Window tint imperfections, say they cannot do this on the day I have booked in (Saturday).My economy is crap, 10 on the open road and 18 in town, woeful. Anthying they can do to fix or look at @ the 3000 km service? Is this chargeable or come under warranty?Should I get an oil change? How much should they charge?What else should I get done or watch out 4 @ this service.Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
