Regular Service - what's involved?

[jesus_man]

Besides changing the oil and checking coolant, brake, fluids, what are the normal service items for the V8? I am going to start doing my own since I am over 45k and want to make sure I do it all. Will be ordering filters and what not soon. What are good sources for that stuff?

If there's a thread out there already, I couldn't find it.

That is one huge mistake. Use the best oil and filter you can buy and read your owners manual for all that needs to be done.

Do a search for the Service interval sheet. As I recall the 46k is fairly major... If I get some time I'll scan the dealer check sheets and post them...

Also don't let the EPB adjustment scare you. If you pm me with your email address I'll send you the Brake repair/service instructions. Anybody that can do their own brakes can handle the epb adjustment...

I will never take my vehicles to a chain lube or brake shop. You are asking for trouble!! I had one shop sabotage my wife's (fiancee at the time) car because she told them not to replace the entire brake system on a four year old car that they claimed had severe wear, even all brake lines. So they sliced the serpentine belt so that it would fail quickly. The car left her stranded.

Back on track here - Thanks for the info, I will read it!! BTW Ryan, I am nearing the 52.5k service.

Whew!! I am happy for you at least. I was going to be watching for the "Jiffy Lube cross-threaded my oil pan plug" thread.

The prior owner of my LR3 had about $600 worth of things done at Jiffy before trading in to the dealer in the early summer of this year. Actually my LR3 is very healthy right now.
