Default 10k maintenance check up

Ok, I know this is probably in my manual somewhere, but I am just asking this on here anyway. I also searched a few different queries and nothing came up.

So for the 10k check up, what exactly is done?

I know oil change, but what else? For this check up am I probably better off going to Jiffy Lube or some small shop over the expensive dealership?

Thanks in advance.

at 10k your car is still new...so other than an oil change what do you think needs to be done at 10k?

10k for a RWD car- Oil change. That's it. Anything else your dealer tries to charge you for is complete and total BS, don't accept, allow, or pay for it.

10k for an AWD car- Oil change, and tire rotation. That's it.

Same for 15k, plus you change your OWN air and cabin filters for a few dollars and 5 minutes of your time.

Same for 20k

Same for 25k

At 30k it's the same, plus you can let em change your brake fluid.

Then the same as 10k again every 5k until 45k where you do the filter again, then the same every 5k till 60, where you need spark plugs and brake fluid done.


That's by the book as to what you actually need... using synthetic you can of course go with much longer OCIs

Just wondering about F-sport filter, does it also need to be changed or "cleaned" at 15k?

Cleaned every 15k (on the filter, not the car, since most folks didn't get it the same time as the car)
