GRS, I am close to 24,000kms and I am eagerly looking fwd to hearing the response for your question.

[lexx]

Ok, this is how mine went...

30,000 Km Service, Replaced Oil and Filter (Supplied)
Check Brakes and Re-Adjust, Check Idle, Timing, Levels and Belts
General Under Carriage Check, ...... $263.50

Alignment ...... $100.00

Vat 15% ...... $ 54.53
Total ...... $ 418.03

I brought in my own oil and filter for that service so i just paid for labour
The oil filter is an extra $330 + vat and the oil is about $360... This was done on the 26/10/2007...

Last service i did was on the 17/12/2009 and the service was the same but the labour went up to $340...

Hope this helped

[Mr. ContraBass]

smart move lexx, the firm usually uses a generic brand of oil on all their vehicles, TOP, i think it is and not the good stuff. but the u are correct wrt the service details.
my first service cost me bout $998.50. been doin it myself since.

bump 4 a bess ride tho

[kriticalkase]

lexx, if you had to choose all over again would you choose the k&n over the OEM air filter?

[lexx]

^^^ kriticalkase, The k&n is working great... the only problem i had is that when i when to servce in DM the guys took it out to "blow off the dust" and they put it back in the wrong way... i had a feeling they were going to do that so i checked it before i left and fixed it...
I don't drive in very dusty conditions so it works for me, and i just find that $400+ for the OEM filter every other service is too high... Plus i feel like the truck get a lil faster in acceleration and the turbo spoolin real nice... I did not service the filter yet but when i do i'll let you know how that is... plus i noticed that i get better millage on a tank of diesel.

[sweeks]

Lexx did they say anything about voiding the warranty w.r.t. the K&N?

[kriticalkase]

sweeks, i remember asking the guys at DM and they indicated that the k&n would not void the warranty. I am very tempted to use the K&N but i keep remembering what was said about the increase particles of dust entering the engine when using the k&n.

[lexx]

sweeks, DM said that they have no problem if the K&N is used...

kriticalkase, I belive that there are probably lots more particles entering our engines through the fuel system with the crap diesel that we use. I don't drive through much cane roads or any dusty places so i really don't think that any of those microscopic particles entering have any significance.

Agreed but that's why you use an OEM filter. Yes you get better performance with the K&N but IMHO the life of the oil decreases more rapidly ... I could be wrong.

Mind you I use a K&N :) but have an OEM just in case.
