I had my 20K service done several days ago, along with getting snow tires mounted and balanced, an alignment, new wiper blades, and several TSBs performed. The only thing I can find in the manual about the next service is the 40K service.

I put approximately 20K miles / year on my car. Hard to understand how I do this, as my commute to work involves getting out of bed and walking down a flight of stairs into my home office, but I do.

Is there something which needs to be done prior to the 40K service? I have to believe that there there are some things like brake pads which will wear out prior to 40K.

Also, is it a good idea to rotate the tires every 5K miles? I did not use snow tires last winter. My summer tires lasted the 20K miles, but will have to be replaced when the snow tires come off this spring. I was very careful about keeping proper tire pressure in them, but did not rotate them, as the dealer said it was not necessary.

 

Anyone???

 

I have not rotated my tires on the 22" and I have put around 5k miles or more to it. You have to look at how worn the tires are. I already did my brakepads around 12-14k when I changed my rotors, 40k service is long way to go and I think you will need more than that, I am not 100% sure.

 

no there is actually nothing in between the 20 and 40K services......they entail so much that they take care of everything in one service.......i dont remember how much the 20K was but i know the 40K was over 1grand!!!
