My car has 5100 miles.

It shows
Oil change 9000
Front brake 22000
Rear brake 29000
MicroFilter 28000
Vehicle Check 33000
in service menu.

Just wondering if others have about the same range in their systems.

Car has about 6100 miles at the moment. After about 5000 miles the oil service showed maintenance needed at 8000 miles.

JDN,

Yours said chaning microfilter at 60K? It seems big difference than mine 28K miles.
How often do you use AC?

Any one else? 30K or 60K?

I double checked the microfilter and 60k is what it says. I have had the air on for most of the miles. I think it filters all air, though, regardless of source.

Sounds like TX has much better air quality than LA area? :'(

60K vs 33K.

No doubt about that!
I've travelled a lot and found LA to be the worst place on earth (when talking about air pollution), or let's say one of the worst, maybe there are other places that are worse that I've not been before...
But not if you are living at the coast, Malibu, Venice, or down to the south on the coast, Laguna for example... Lovely places!
