7500 Service Recommendation

I got the following options from the dealer on my upcoming 7500 service. And I will like to know which one will you recommend.

Premium ($180)
Replace engine oil and filter
Road test vehicle
Rotate tires (don't believe it works on G37)
Inspect 26 additional items

Schedule 1 ($140)
Replace engine oil and filter
Rotate tires (don't believe it works on G37)
Inspect 8 additional items

Schedule 2 ($90)
Replace engine oil and filter
Rotate tires (don't believe it works on G37)

Or should I just replace engine oil and filter for 50 bucks and wait for 15000 service.

Thanks in advance.

Do the oil change yourself and keep the receipts.

Since your car is new, you may want to get the premium for the first time since your car is new. After they've inspected everything you could just get the Oil Change or whatever you want. And 190$ is pretty good considering Cadillac dealers charge around $250 for premium...

All you have to do for 7500 is change the oil, nothing more, save your money.

$54.00 is what my dealer charges me for a simple oil change. My 04 Honda Accord Coupe only cost $24.00 for the same service.

wat is this premium business i havent seen that at lexus dealerships..why not just do what needs to be done at certain intervals rather than guilt trip people into getting the "most"

thats why their called stealerships....In my opinion just get oil changes and only do big tuneups or service at the big intervals w/e they are like 15k, 30k, 60k, or w/e they are......save some loot...

How hard is it to change oil yourself? I'm only at 1500 miles but probably change my oil a little before the 3750 mark.

I use Mobil1 5W-30 Full Synthetic every 3750... Not sure if there is a DIY or not. Basically there is about a 5 in strip of plastic that you remove a few bolts from and fold back. This give you direct access to the drain plug and the filter. Drain her, replace the filter, and fill her up with some new stuff. That's about it. I use Rhino ramps to get underneath.
