Service A @ 10k miles or 1 year?
I just want to verify this because the manual says 1 year or 10k miles but my dash recently told me I have 30 days to Service A even though I only have 6k miles on it. I'm assuming this just means the car was sitting on the lot for awhile... u think it's worth doing the Service A so early, or should I wait it out?

I do a oil service every 5K between each A and B service. Instead of doing a full A service, why don't you just get an oil change for piece of mind? I think my dealer charges $70.

The interval reminder is also time based. If the car had sat 6 months in the lot then you'd get a reminder 6 months after you purchased the car.

not necessarily glorified, they just use a not so conventional oil, which costs more...feel free to do it yourself though with some jackstands

The included item in the service A and B have been posted on the board here and it should also be in your maintenance booklet that came with the car. Do a search as I think that I posted the details before. I have always changed the oil at 5000 miles regardless of what the FSS has stated.
