Looks like my 111k service is stacking up like this:
- Oil and filter change. Switching to Pennzoil Euro 5W-40 from 0W-40 due to unavailability of the 0W-40. Even the 5W-40 I had to get from eBay so I may switch off Pennzoil entirely and find something suitable next time.
- Engine air filters. I don't know what the interval is but 32k seems good. Haven't even looked at them. Bought Mann from Rockauto which hopefully is OEM. Dealer only has the crappy discount Starparts line, for way more money.
- Air compressor and relay
- Brake fluid flush. Believe it has been over 2 years. So this is overdue.
- Tire cross-rotation, as usual
- Wipers
I will inspect and made dedicated threads as appropriate. I intended to do some of this today but then realized the air compressor sounds bad. So I'll order more things and postpone until next weekend.
