Ok I read the manual and it says that the first service should be 5k or 1month. And I own the car for about 6 months now and only got 2k (lol) on it. I got a call from Lexus today saying that "it has been more than 3 months since you bought the car, please take it in for service, blah blah blah" should I take it in now or wait for 5k?

 

Hmmm, I thought it was either 5k miles or 6 months? In any case, I took mine in at around 4500 miles at about 6 months.

 

Yea just shoot for the 6 month or 5000 mile marker.

 

I agree, I think you should wait till 6months like the manual says or 5k. BTW, I thought you were selling the car?

 

Ya I was but changed my mind.


So if I take it in for the 6 months service that's the one for free right? will they change my oil and stuff for the service? or they just gonna take a look and see if everything is fine or whatsoever?

Shoo.... 6 months is just a couple days away lol...

 

They will the do "5,000/6 month Service" which will include some inspections, oil change, tire rotation, etc. Please see your Maintenance Manual its all there. Since you are "just a couple days away" then the dealer was right, and actually nice enough to call u. Not sure why you would complain about that.

 

I didn't compalin about it lol, but I don't use my car much so its still on 2k not even close to 5k

 

I bought my car on 12/16/06 and only got 3500 miles on my car. I need to get rid of my "beater" so I can drive it more.

Sometimes I wonder why I got this car because my Acura Integra GS-R is much more fun to drive then my IS.

 

Same here, gotta drive more

 

I concur with the others...5K or 6 months. Time does no good for the additives in your oil, so you should get it replaced at 6 months regardless of the mileage.

To those that complain about not having driving the car enough, at least you don't have my problem. I am being punished by having my keys to the IS taken away by my wife for simply saying "hello" back to a nice looking female in another IS after she said "hi" to me as I was at a red light. I got so carried away, that I forgot my wife was sitting next to me.

Now I drive the 1997 Nissan Maxima around until August 1st (1 month of punishment).

 

I think your wife has been secretly wanting to drive the IS, you just gave her an excuse.

 

I think you're correct.

 

Lol **** that suk... I feel ya...I haven't seen lotta chicks drive the IS in NY, all male.

Hopefully your wife won't holla at nice looking guys that drive an IS. :P
