Is that where they feed some STP fuel system cleaner in through a vacuum port? I've seen them do that at super lube, didn't know if that was the same thing. It's included in my 5's 45k service, along with a bunch of other crap that I'm sure isn't worth what I'm paying.



Also "lube chassis"?? What the hell on the "chassis" needs to be lubed?

45k is same as 15k. oil change, balance and rotate, fuel additive (pour in tank), induction service (run super alcohol type stuff thru intake helps prevent gunnky buildup in manifold on valves etc, and it really does work) and um maybe coolant change i think.



either way, do it.

all the other stuff is crap, its just a oil change and a rotate and balance....

Well it's good to know they're actually doing something that I wouldn't do myself.



Maintenance-wise, my goal with this car was to do it all through the dealer, so when I decide to sell the car (or if I have any warranty issues) I have all records accounted for.



Or if I drive the car 1,000,000 miles and need verification before appearing on Leno and getting a new car for free.
