1st service?

[kaw77]

approximately 1 month after receiving my FJ, the dealership Service Dept called and said it was time for its 1st service??
I only had 500 miles on it, . right now its 10 weeks old and only 1400 miles, any ideas as to what they could possibly want to service? or is this a money grab?

Sounds like a money grab to me, but I had my oil changed at 1400 miles anyway because I plan on keeping it a long time and wanted to make sure that the break-in metal filings were removed.

Yup, they just want more of your hard earned money. Change the oil at 1,000, and 3,000 then follow the schedule.

1 month....?

The manual says 5,000 miles and my dealer said 3,500 miles but they would perform the 5K service for free.

Best to be safe and change the oil at 1000 just to remove any manufacturing debris.

had mine changed at 1200 miles wating for 6 to roll around then another with tire rotation.

I changed the oil at 1,400 miles. After searching the forum as to when to change the oil and when not to..........I decided to do it anyway. I just turned over 5,000 miles, and as anticipated, the maint. light came on. Time to change the oil again!

[stunaep]

did you all just change the oil, leave on the same filter, then change the oil AND filter at 5,000 miles?

Changed oil and filter at 2800 miles for the first time.
