I guess all the services are the same.

I think all they do is change oil + filter and just have a look at the car?

Anyway for the 60k service I am going to tell the guys to change oil + filter and the air cleaner element. I have had a look at the air cleaner element and it seems free of dust and pretty clean, do I need to have it changed?

Do you recommend I just go with ultratune homebrand or should I just go buy the parts from repco and get them to fit it in?

you missed a major at 40,000km and 60,000km is another semi-major which i oil+filter and brake fluid change over. This is going off the old system which we used before I left so they may have a new service schedule.
40k, 60k, 80k and 100k are all the majors and they repeat in that order.
If you're not fussed about the stamp then why don't you try a DIY it's simple and probably end up costing you less over time

Still the same.

We've always changed the filter when the oil was changed.

Only thing is, how much better is the original Honda vs the generic, I guess Repco brand is also the generic yeah?

Only thing at 40000KM was the air cleaner element and I just bought one from Repco for $27 and replaced it myself. Originially I used compressed air to clean out the original Honda but decided against it given that the Repco was only $27.

Just in terms of brake fluid replacement, I'm not sure whether it's better to get that done at Honda, or Ultratune or Brakes Plus perhaps as they specialise in it?
