Comin up on 1500....
So I have noticed a few people on here mention changes fluids in the engine, trans, and diff at 150. I plan on doing this, probably at dealer(they've done me good so far service wise, as long the price is decent.
Was wondering average prices and how many people have done it?

I had my oil changed (1st year free) at the dealer @ 1,500 miles.
I changed my diff fluid around 2,700 miles myself. I think some people were charged more than $100 for the dealer to change the diff, but you may want to search a bit if no one else chimes in.

I was thinking 150 is fair for all three. But that's what I'm thinking curious if it's realistic.

Wow! I've never heard of transmission and reaer differential being changed so early especially 150 miles. I want to purchase a V6 and want to do everything that will make this machine run the best it possibly can. I'm also a do it yourself kind of guy, so none of these oil changes scare me so to speak. I'm just surprised. It doesn't sound like owners manual specs, but I know you guys know more about maintianing a sports car than I do with my honda Civic.
