How deep did they have their hand in your pocket for that service?

BTW, I'm at 91k for my '12.

 

Sounds like he did it himself?

 

Ahh, yep.

I do all my service too. I have 6 fresh plugs ready to install with TB and MAF cleaner for my next free weekend.

 

Nice...at least you know it was done right. I've added hitting all of the hinges with white lithium grease to my yearly "to do" list.

 

IIRC, the bill from Rock Auto for the plugs, wipers, fanbelt, air filter was $80, oil and cabin filter in stock, as well as Mobil 1 and castrol gear oil. Anti-sieze and dielectric grease bought by the pound. Fanbelt was inspected and looked to be in new condition so was not changed. At least the box of stuff is off the workbench. The gear oil is bought by the five gallon bucket with a hand pump, Mobil 1 by the 5 quart job from Walmart, oil filters from Discount Fleet Supply, Wix. I just used the last of the six pack of cabin air filters I bought when the truck was purchased.

I also maintain three vintage dodge trucks, a Jeep Wrangler, wife's STI, JD 450B shovel dozer and half a dozen motorcycles.

did my 60k plugs and engine oil last week... doing trans and diffs tomorrow. feelsgoodman

 

I'm at about 4k miles on my oil and normally I change every 5k. I've got about 5 weeks to drive before I hit that magic number, that's like the middle of winter here. I change my own oil in my yard so I'm trying to decide if I want to change it this week while the weather is still okay or wait. I don't have the benefit of a nice garage.

 

Do it early while the weather is good...I average 5k between changes, changing early in cold weather and short trips is a good idea.
