15000km service early?

[Gcmkt]

Hello gents

maybe a bit pedantic but I've got 13000km on the clock and have planned a 10 day trip away in a fortnights time as Im heading up to Frazer then out west to Moree then home. It'll be a 3000km round trip putting my kms over 15000km. What are some of your thoughts. Do I do the 15000km service before I go which will ensure its in top condition, or squeeze out the 3000km and do the 15000km service late and go over the recommended kms for the service.

I personally would have the service to ensure it's in top condition prior to your trip. You can always have a mid service from a local mechanic prior to the 30k one if your concerned.

[Cowboy Dave]

Yeah I'd always go a service before a long trip. But I also wouldn't be worried about exceeding the interval by only 1000km.

If it were me I wouldn't bother whats a couple k's between services? you might as well get the most out of your fluids and oils before you change them.

[mIwoo]

If it was me I'd empty my fluids- do your trip... And then when you get back get your service done and they can re fill your fluids then....









Lmao! 1000 kms is nothing to worry about... If your just driving on the freeway. Going anywhere 'harsh' like, where you'll actually rely on your truck, then I would always advocate to get it done before!

Don't forget to get a wheel alignment as well. Mine was 9 degrees out from new.

For the 15,000 I would do it before. Give it a good check over ready for the trip. The oil has been in from new so may be a bit grungy with wearing in. May also have a few loose bolts that need tightening.

What was I thinking Your truck might explode if that service is not done.

Don't quote me, but I have over heard one of the guys at mitsu saying if its over by a certain amount you don't get the capped price service

[Colsha]

Yeah you get 2500km over before you lose CPS. O found that out the hard way on my lancer. They also said I'd lose my warranty and roadside assistance but then changed their mind. I was 2600km overdue.

[mIwoo]

Really? I was over on my 60 k service by at least 3000 km and il stil got my CPS.

Shows the difference between 'Dealers' and 'Stealers'...

[PhatVelvet]

I read on a mitsu site somewhere that if the vehicle isn't serviced by a dealer before the due date/kms then you aren't covered by roadside assist until that service is caught up. Then the roadside assist will be valid again for the next km/time frame.

Thanks for the responses. It's done now, I feel happier it's done knowing its been serviced and that everything is doing what it is supposed to. Felt a bit self conscious about doing it early but the only reason for the early service is I didn't want to blow out the kms and have something go wrong while I was away. I can hit the road with piece of mind now. Here we come Frazer !!
