Fortunately, I never had to do that, the service manager informed me that the service guide they put out really doesn't have to be followed. I told him I used synthetic oil and changed my oil every 7500 miles and he said no problem. The only other thing I did was make sure the transmission was serviced reguarly. Other than that...I followed nothing that the service manual suggested and it did not void out the warranty. Heck...I waited until 90K miles to get the timing belt replaced and that was when I had the major tune up done.
I did all oil changes myself as well as changing the brake pads. Neither of which void the warranty as well.

Ummmmmmmmmm....change the oil, oil filter, air filter, check your fluids and call it a day. One thing I've always done with every oil change is to put a fuel system cleaner in. The one I use is Berryman's Chem-Tool. Usually you find it as a spray for the carb, but they have one that pours as well. After my oil change, I drive to the gas station, pour it in the tank and fill up on top of it so it mixes in real good. Has kept my last 3 cars purring beautifully.

Pour in ChemTool is great stuff...Adding with oil change is best way to keep the interval and keep it in the maintance schedule

Tony did you have your brake rotors turned when you replaced the brake pads on your Azera? My Azera is at 52,000 and the pads need to be replaced but the rotors look fine, smooth, no grooving what so ever and turning cost $15/disc. Just wondering if I can avoid this $60 expense. JP

I've replaced my pads 3 times and have NOT yet turned my rotors. If you are not experiencing any feedback thru the brake pedal, nor any pulling to one side when applying the brakes...your rotors should be fine. Turning the rotors is really for problems such as hot spots that make the rotor surface uneven, warping caused by uneven torque on the lug nuts (which is why I always use a torque wrench set at 95 lbs. when I put wheels back on) or gouges caused by running the pads to the metal and cutting into the rotors. Of course...places that do brakes will tell you it must be done, and why not...they make more money when you get it done.
I will say this, $15/rotor is really a cheap price to get rotors turned. A lot of places charge around $100 to do this because you're paying for the time it takes for it to be done by a machine...sucks, huh? Anyway, here's a link you can check out and take it for what it's worth.

Is there a "free" site where I can get detailed information regarding TSBs? The sites that I have found are all pay-for-info sites.

Hancook Tires

I own a 2000 Azera SE and really love everything about it. I've put about 25K miles on the Hankook tires and they are just starting to show some wear. What can I expect to get out of these tires. I have had other H-rated tires on other vehicles (Contis on a 2000 300M; Dunlaps on a 1996 Maxima) and only got about 40K in mileage before they had to be replaced. These seem to be wearing much better.

30k service $475.00?

am in Burlingame California. This includes "cleaning the fuel injectors ($175.00)"
They also had this as being inlcuded at 15,000 but told me it was optional so I did not have this done. I have never had the fuel injectors cleaned on a car and am wondering if it is really necessary at 3ok. I do not believe it is listed as a component of the 3ok service in the manual.
