I will be around 1100 miles when I get there and I'm looking to get -

__* Motor Oil
__* Diff. &
__* M.T. Oil

Changed under the Break-in service. The first two are specified but,
who here has had the M.T. oil changed as well - under warranty -
without having to haggle about it?

Please Help.

Thanks!

Hello!

I will be driving down the entire Florida Panhandle, With a stop in Ormond Beach
and then down to Miami.

If you've had a Great Break in Service - that included all 3 Oils - with a FL. dealership,
please tell me which one?

Thanks!

Thanks All!

And, Thanks for the invite!

I'm in the Order Bank, but I haven't gotten a Production # yet.
So, as of now, I'm guessing it won't be until the end of August!?!

Manual transmission fluid change is not part of the 1200 mile service.

If you are looking to get the break in service done in Miami, shoot me a message on my facebook page

Hey!

It's a matter of Preventive Maintenance/Preference. I've asked around and some dealers will include it for you, free of charge, nonetheless.

What do they do for the 1200 mile service? I have heard horror stories of SoFL dealerships (not mentioning names) doing nothing except updating the vehicle log.

Hey!

I's called a "Break-in Service", as in 1st service.

Also, "Planning ahead" is a new concept for me too.
It's something that I'm looking into.

They will vacuum up anything of value inside your car for you as a courtesy .Also they activate and use launch control from the service bay to the service drive to make sure they are timely.
