Plus nearly all fluids and a timing belt.

Hi Guys

I just had my 90k service done at a dealer (MN 2013 Triton). Had the timing belt changed, all fluids filters, wheel alignment and all wheels rebalanced and rotated (had a pull to left). Only thing not done was lifter clearances done which not sure is on the 180k service.

I paid $1500, and i think that is probably fair and reasonable.

Cheers

I had my valves done the first time at 90k and the mechanic said all were pretty well in spec - so really like opening the chest to find nothing wrong with the heart! :lol:

Every 90k is expensive, even doing you own work. Fluids front to back & filters, belts and the rubber band for the 2.5s. Having it serviced then adds the labour component, which is the killer.

As I've probably mentioned on a few occasions, 'who designs an engine that requires regular valve adjustment, with the requirement to dismantle part of the most important component - the injector pipes'?
Don't let the b'strds get you down!!
