5 months and 2300 km since purchase and my car already want to get serviced???

 

Phone the dealer . Interested to hear what he says.

 

must be an error or someone tampered with ur service indicator.

 

Check your build date. You are likely at 12 months and it was not reset upon delivery. I don't think it is a bad idea to change the oil as it has likely already been in there for a year.

 

called the dealer and they were just happy to say "bring it in, we'll service it with pleasure". Couldn't get an answer as for why...

And I need that stupid coolant sensor checked.

Seriously, I regret my purchase...

 

Keep asking why or they should not be called a 'service' centre especially if you have to pay for the service. !!

 

I had something similar happen with my car. I took it in and they reset the indicator to the date I bought the car. One year from the new date, service came due. (I put less than 13,000 miles on the car). It's an easy fix. I think if you explain this to your service advisor, you will find them to be accommodating. My dealer usually respects my knowledge of the car. I learn everything I know from these boards.

It's synthetic oil. I don't think it goes bad sitting in the car. Neither do most of the other people who have posted on this same subject. For a faster answer next time, you might want to search the forums first. You will find that most questions have already been answered several times. It will give you a lot more information and ideas than reading just the answers to your post.

Hope this is helpful.

 

FYI, it's just my ?&%$#@! dealer who didn't bother to service the car/reset the indicator despite that he had the car for over 6 months in his yard.

It did cost 320$can for servicing it. For the little history, I did put 280$ in gas in that car since I bought it. (I keep every bill)

Also, I have been told that if the 6 months trial woth Sirius wasn't activated within 2 months, you just lose it. So screw it.
