Default Spring Cleaning - a bit early

It's time to change my fluids and I wanted to change my Oil, tranny and diff fluids all at the same time. I don't have a garage or driveway to do it myself, so I will need to take it somewhere to be done.

Couple questions.....

1. How much would the estimated cost be for these three items?

2. How long will it take? (do I need to drop off the car for the day or just wait it out?)

3. Any advice on what to specifically ask for? (my first fluid changes on the S) Or should I bring my own stuff?

4. Should I do this at the local dealer? (or are other places more cost effective?)



Thanks guys,

Dont know if yout want to bring it to the dealer, but I do know you should bring your own fluids because dealers have been known to put the wrong fluids in. GL

If there is a dealership nearby that would work. Bring your own rear diff fluid (LE-607 is great stuff aslong as the car doesn't get driven in temps below 40 too often, otherwise Mobil 1 75W-90 is fine for any weather). Let them use their engine oil (Mobil DriveClean) and tranny fluid (Honda MTF). Also, make sure they get new crush washers on the drain and fill bolts. Aslong as they begin working on the car right away it will take less than an hour.

Other things to consider if you can't recall the last time they were done is brake fluid and clutch fluid; a full flush should be in order if it's been 3+ years.
