Service at 14,000...what happens?

Mid_West · 07-02-2008, 10:46 PM

I dont have a manual (bought a used car that didnt have one). Im sure if I searched REALLY hard I could find this info but I figured someone would be willing to offer the answer (as opposed to telling me to just 'search').

My question is this: My indicator says that Im due for "service" at 14,000 miles. What occurs at this service interval?

So, is the 14,000 mile service something that I could do?
Can I reset the lights when the time comes?
I also dont want them to reprogram my ECU with 29.2 because Im pretty sure I dont have it.

Mine is coming up too. I have 13,500 miles and I have 1900 miles to go before service. It sure would be nice to know what will be done on this service.

It might be slightly different services for our cars since you have a 328 and I have a 335...but what Im looking for, specifically, is if this is just an oil change or an actual 'service'.

Should be just an oil change and quick inspection, i.e., windshield wipers, etc.
