How much does your Indy charge for services?

[p1tse]

Oil service? Is an oil filter required?

Gearbox oil change?

Also how often, mileage, distance, time do you go for?

What other things needs to be looked at at about 100k

Search is your friend. :xyes:

Not sure on cost as I do it myself.

If you're changing oil, Always change the filter.

Personally, bare minimum for me on a 100K service depending on what has been done before;

Oil
OIl Filter
New sump bolt and washer.
Spark plugs
Engine Coolant
Gearbox Oil
Pollen filter
Brake Fluid

- Check belts, valve clearances...Can't think of anything else off the top of my head.

Every 6months/6000 miles - Oil and Filter (Mine is a daily driver) + check everything and replace as required.

Every 5000 miles mine get oil and filter change. And any thing I notice in between is instantly replaced.

After 5000 miles you're wasting good oil David!

 

[David_showerks]

To be fair I have only done 5k in just under year so I don't mind as its one full service a year really.

thanks

assume "Check belts, valve clearances" is a job for a mechnachnic
or can this be visible by sound rattle or anything else?

 

[Chewy]

Valve clearances need to be checked by a mechanic, and belts although a quick visual check for wear is usually fine it could also be checked by a mechanic for piece of mind.

Undoing bolts and pouring in liquid is easy to do, Anything more than that and my knowledge is a little restricted.

Haha, That's 20 oil and filter changes in just over 60,000 miles and <£1000 in parts alone...

Now that's maintenance xthumbup

To be honest with modern fully synthetic oils that are designed to last longer than ever before before breaking down the trend of replacing it every 3-5000 miles is overkill. Standard honda service schedule is 12000 miles or once a year. With pretty much all of us using oils above and beyond the spec that honda recommend I don't see the point with overkill on the service issue. I cover around 8000-9500 miles a year and service mine once a year,Im sure some of you disagree with my opinion

No your spot on.

People are just throwing money away.
But you will never convince them other wise. And for the relatively small cost, most wouldn't take the risk.

I myself still change mine more than I should. But I'm a mechanic, get oil free, and have a ramp. I don't do a lot of miles, so do mine on age.
If I were paying someone to do it, I'd do it less often.

 

[Rich3248]

I do mine myself and if I want to change it every 3000miles im more than entitled too. I agree on one sense that it could be left a little longer as the oil was still pretty much golden when I drained it haha

But its my baby and I love looking after it

Yup, have receipts and all haha

I do mine 6 to 8000km or six months which ever comes first. Nine years of doing this

Agreed! Modern oils are now so good that car manufacturers are uping their service intervals drastically! 2 years / 20k miles is pretty common now, even from Porsche and BMW!

I still use Honda, every year, regardless of mileage (granted, I only do a couple of thousand a year). I take it to Blackpool Honda, and have never been charged more than £180.
