First Service Interval.

I've done 4200km since November.
Is the first service at 6 months or 12.......I'll probably not drive 12000 in this 1st year.
How much was 1st service.....assume it's the usual oil & filter ripoff ?

Cheers, Neil.

Don't quote me as I am sure someone with a better memory than me will be along shortly.

From memory I think I was gobsmacked by it being about $400. (Basically not much done for that amount) However, worth doing in my 'umble opinion. Good to ensure everything is up to speed. <*(((<<

My 6 month service was a lazy $514 in Perth.

This included some fuel treatment rubbish which wasn't requested, but since LRA was picking up the tab I didn't care.

I really don't know why the servicing costs are so high for an oil change and check.

Doing it yourself wont make any difference to the value Norto.
I've serviced the Honda myself from 2 years old in 2005.
Reckon on having saved two and a half grand.......and runs perfectly at 31500km now.
Just use the dealer for brake fluid changes ,since its vacuum bled.
