Going in for service today! Need help on what to get done!

IMMLaw · 01-15-2016, 08:43 AM

Guys I know this has been repeated probably forever on here but I need some quick assistance - I've only done the 1,200 mile service and I am still below 4,500 miles but my car is telling me that I need to change the oil (I rarely drive the car). My car is coded and I do not want to lose coding.

What should I have them do, if anything, apart from the engine oil? Anything special they need to do that I need to look out for? How do I not lose my coding? I read a while back that some new update came out.. etc.

Any help appreciated!

Oil is to be changed between 6000- 12000 miles at the time of service. If you are feeling that your vehicle is giving some starting or running problem then it might be be some other defect. It can be due to non cleaning of air filter also. Clean the air filter and have a test drive. If still the problem persists get it checked from professional mechanic.
