urgent maintenance questions

Hey everyone, I'm at the 7500 mile mark and am due for maintenance. I went to the dealership and they said there is a new schedule for the 01 and up civics and accords. Nothing in it makes sense. Everything is now 10,000 miles apart, even oil change! There are also no recommendations for major services (ie. transmission flush), and they're just listed as separate services that you can do whenever.

My question is, do you rotate the tires at 7500 miles or am I okay waiting til 10,000. I definately am not waiting 10000 miles for each oil change. I'll at least get that done now.

Thanks[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/IMG]

my book says 10k now for rotating the tires. .. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/IMG]

you could wait as long as you want. rotating is meant to keep the tires with more tread on the ones that drive (front wheels). do it whenever you want, 10 or 7.5k, it'll be ok.
