My G just rolled over 30k. I went on to my dealer's site to schedule an oil change, but they popped up this rather extensive list of things I should do. Their packages range from basic (basically an oil change + a lot of inspections) for $300, all the way up to $800 for an engine and diff oil change + inspections.

I'm just wondering what is necessary, and what is fluff that my dealer is trying to unnecessarily push on me.

 

Just change the oil/filter and cabin filter, both are simple DIYs. If you've had your car for a couple years changing the brake fluid would also be a good idea.

 

Yeah, my bad for posting this, I just did a search and my questions have been answered numerous times on here.

$270 with coupon for oil change, brake fluid change, air filter changes, and some inspections. I'll just go with that.

Thanks

 

you shouldnt be changing your brake fluid at 30k. just oil and filters.

 

Disagree.

Brake fluid naturally absorbs water and loses its effectiveness. Bleeding your brakes is relatively inexpensive and/or an easy DIY. Most people neglect brake fluid, but its an important fluid to change out.

 

Yep, it is the one fluid that can seriously degrade in a relatively short time frame. Every time I change my brake fluid I notice an improvement in brake
feel/response, not drastic but noticeable.
