Serviced my Baby today...
I did the 10K service on my car today because it was getting close.
I changed the following.
Air Filter (S) (Puroator)
Oil (Mobile 1)
Oil filter and seals (Fram)
Cabin Filter (S) ( Bosch)
Fuel Filter ( Finally ) ( Fram Knock-off) Wasn't so bad 30 to 40 mins.
Cost: Less than $200
Most of the other checks like suspension etc.. I normally do as a PM. I wanted to swap out my rotors this job but I could not get them in time...
I just got a new camshaft sensor the other day, and boy this thing is like new.
Guys make sure you check you cabin filters regularly.. This is the first time I've changed mine since I owned the car and they look like they have never been changed before..nasty.... I can't believe I was working my CC System so hard pumping air through that mess... Oh well I have clean air now..
Here are the pics of my Cabin filters.. Wonder what yours look like?

Mine were located behind the glove box. I had to remove it to get to them. It was very easy though. I'm sure yours are located in the same place. there is a white clip that unlocks a door behind the glove box. The filters are sitting in there on top of the fan.
There was actually a little instruction sheet inside the box that my new filters came in that showed their location.
