im almost reaching 60k mileage and the service B light have popped up... anybody ever got this done? what all needs to be done? and for the guys without factory warranty, how much did you guys pay?

It's in the service manual, but generally you bend over a bit further for each subsequent letter. I think Service B is only about a 60 degree bend with minimal lube

And you pay the same warranty or not ... but a good indy shop should be your friend at this point since you're out of warranty. I think almost all good techs end up at indy shops when they get fed up with the dealership crap.
