I just hit 20 K mile like last week and was wordering is there anything special the dealer does that needs to be done at 20 K or can I just do my own oil change and rotate the tires by myself[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/IMG] If I really have to it will get the service for 20 K if not it can wait til 30 K I guess. Any replies will be helpful thanx

I am at 28k and have received two maintence req'd lights already but I'm just too lazy to go to the dealer. I reset the light and I normally change my own oil. No problems so far. I do know its probably brings down my trade in value but oh well. I'd also like to know what services are actually done when you're suppose take in your car.

if i remember correctly, at 20k they change your fluids and do the 24 point test along with the rotating of the tires. i can't remember for sure so don't quote me. i am getting ready to go in for my 25k check up though and i'd be happy to tell you what all they did this time around though

To quote my dealership, "there is no 20K service.....there is a 22500 service, that includes oil change, tire rotation, and brake service (they FINALY made my parking brake tight!)." They also found I had a leaky strut and replaced it.
