30K service included a swap out of the spark plugs, engine air filter , oil filter and cabin filter.

Around $120 in plugs (maybe a little less)
Around $ 40 in engine filter
Around $ 50 in polin filter
Around $ 25 in oil filter (up to 40)
Around $ 70 in oil

Give or take on the price of the parts $400. . . . .

I would ask your service advisor what is being done for the 30K you're working with. You may not be comparing apples with apples....

Thanks, how hard is to swap the air filter? Can I do it myself? I know the cabin filter is next to the battery and super easy to swap. Can't do oil or spark plugs so dealer it's for those.

As I understand it, everything but the spark plugs is an easy DIY.

The plugs is the job, everything else is done blind-folded....

As I stated before, it's not an easy task.......

Can someone tell me or point me how to swap out the air filter? Am I disconnecting any sensors?

You can do it by removing the screws on the sides of the airbox located on the right side of your engine compartment. You can remove the hose that goes to the throttle body for easy access.... These screws will sit secure so you only need to back them out.... Once they are all moved out you can then pull the lid up easy..... Slip out the old and in with the new... Make sure you check for the arrows, they should be pointed upwards.

I am willing to drive down to have it done to save a few hundred bucks.

i'm ready to change my plugs and gas filter at 25k miles. let's go together!

You guys might want to question your dealers, I heard somewhere that plugs were not being swaped at 30K.
