60,000 Service Cost

Hahaha inspect valve clearance, you think they'll even open up the valve cover? Unless you stand there and watch them check the clearances.

So they charge you 3 hours of labour to change the oil.

As per Fredoops recommendation, I would do a tranny flush at the same time or earlier.

Thats why i do all my own servicing, everything is done properly. When I check the valve clearance on my 08 CU2, all the exhaust valves were tight.

Pretty sure that's what stndrd was alluding to?

And yeah I doubt they'd bother opening it up to check properly. Just have a listen. Best done DIY like you do, safest option and not a hard job anyway.
