First service, filter?
At what mileage do I send in my car for first service? I have done about 7200kms and the warning message displayed telling me I have to send it in for next oil change in the next 1000kms. I spoke with my salesman and he said to ignore it and to send it in when it touches 12000kms.
Also I thought of swapping to the K&N air filter when doing the service, have any of you'll done this? I'm sure the K&N filter is better than the paper filter. |

Based on the information in your post I'd be taking it in just before 8200 Kms. The condition based servicing monitors a number of components and determines a replacement schedule based on patterns of use and atmospheric conditions. It's telling you 1000 Kms for a reason!

Why do you think that when he is trying to postpone your visit?

Hi Samlambo. Send it in. You don't want to void your warranty. I wouldn't replace the filter with K&N. The originals, although cheap looking, are good. OEMs may change the sound of your intake a little but they would really not be any better for your car.
