Could someone tell me what all is done? I'd like to do it myself as it's so expensive to have the dealer do it. Thanks in advance... |

7500 mile service is a piece of cake, engine oil/filter change, check all electrical equipment operation, check all lines for tightness/leaks, tire air pressure/tread etc... It's all in the owners manual. edited by xb9rski on August 26, 2003 |

Are you running Mobile 1 synthetic 50wt. ?? I heard thats some good stuff. Haven't switched to it yet, I'm still running HD 50wt. edited by xb9rski on August 26, 2003 |

The specifics for the 7500 mile service are in the back of the owners manual. Inspect this, inspect that... Doesn't require oil and filter change, but couldn't hurt! Doesn't make any sense to pay a dealer to do it for you. Might take 30 minutes if you're thorough and only have one beer. |

Thanx all... I just didn't know if there was anything else involved.... Yes, I'm using the Mobile 1, have been since my first change... Since I don't drink (not a goodie goodie, just don't drink) it'll only take the 30 |

Mobil 1 VTwin 20W50 Synth and Mobil 1 75W90 Synth for the tranny are some of the most highly recommended lubes on this board. |

...and Valvoline 20W50 synthetic is about $4.25 a quart. |
