Dealers Oil Changes

[Sarge707]

Mike,

I don't know what the issue is with the dealer & don't know who the dealer is.

Your post subject is 'Dealers Oil Change' & you complained about the price for the 600 miles service & two hours labor. You do realize that the 600 miles service is far more than just an engine oil & filter change, right? They also inspect, adjust, clean, lube, replace or service the following:

• Oil Tank Strainer= I doubt Most dealers do this!
• Transmission Oil Filter
• Engine Coolant= How hard is it to check?
• Fault Codes
• Spark Plugs= I doubt they take the plugs out and look at them!
• Drive Belt
• Front Suspension Arms= Did you see evidence (Grease Residue) That shows they greased them?
• Parking Brake
• Storage Compartment Latches, Key Barrels & Hinges

I know the spark plugs are a lot of work & they very likely had to remove the frunk to lube the front suspension.

See you at the Georgia Spyder Riders potluck @ Mountain MotorSports in Conyers @ 11:00 this Saturday!

Don,t wanna seem untrusting but I would BET many dealers just change your Oil , Look things over in a general way, and Check your codes and see if your abusing the engine!
I prefer to do it myself and KNOW its been done!!!

Sarge your not kidding, I took my spyder for a DSS recall.....because I don't trust them I scratched up the one on my Spyder so I would know if they changed it......When they saw this they got so PI**ED off they added an extra quart of oil ( which wasn't asked for / or needed )......Mike
