Time to do Inspection 1
MIB has had its first oil change and I have 13000+ miles before inspection 1.
For those of you who have done the inspection 1, how long will I be waiting at the dealer for the car to be serviced? Is it an "over night" thing? or can you have your car back on the same day? Thanks in advance |
What's an inspection 1? I had my first oil change this summer and the only thing mentioned was the next one 15,000 miles from then.

1.5 hours for me.

Inspection 1
What did they charge you?
What was the charge for? I was under the impression that all maintenance was free for the 1st 3 years.:confused: Lance |

At roughly how much mileage does inspection 1 kick in? So far I've got 12k miles or so & no inspection indicator yet?
|
How often does everyone get their oil changed? Do i need to wait until the OBC tell me to get it changed? This is something I will never be able to get used to.

Inspection 1 is at 25,000.
My car just went by the 3 year but has not hit 25,000 yet. The dealer wanted to sell me an extended Warranty for the year for $500 (or maybe he said $400). He said that inspection and oil change would be $400 if I pay for them but they would do it as included if I bought the service. Well I recenlty had them change the oil (and brake fluid) on the " x year" time out so neither will need changing for a while. The only thing on that list that counts is the body rust inspection, as they won't honor the rust through if you don't have it inspected on their terms. I am taking my chances. I don't pay dealers $400 to look the car over and change the oil! J D |
One more thing. I got this code (Carly) when it happened. I don't see a level code with the scanner you posted.
https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.nor...40acc4a7a2.png As I say, I initially thought the fluid wasn't low, but after the "level too low" message on this error I brought it up to max. |
