I had my 1st service 'B' at 24,000 km as per service book.

Dealer service sticker says next service due at 36,000 km or 30/08/2011.

Car is now 12 months old & now has 37,000 km on the clock.

The service book says service every 12 month or 24,000 km since last service 'A' or 'B'.

So what is it, service due now or wait till I reach 48,000 km?

Also anyone know what a 'A' service is versus a 'B' service?

I was told that the standard service interval was 1 year or 24 months KM's what ever came first

The pre MY10 models were 6 months/12000 K's what ever came first, so wondered if they mistook your model for an older version after the first serviced it i have heard of many horror stories from the LRA dealer chain, just ask some of the ANZ forum members

Thanks for the reply Zilch.

I think you are right about the dealer mixing things up.

I'll stick to the service book - 12 months or 24,000km since last service.

WPA, maybe worth just giving one of the other dealers a buzz to confirm scheduling on your model as a form of back up.

Thanks

thats the disclaimer out the way  Another Pommie Bar Steward down under

My 2010 d4 has oil change every 24000k or 12 months and a health check every 6 months. This is due to the fact that they using a fancy new oil. My 08 RRS TDV8 every 12000k or 6 months.I would check with your dealer. ULR, MLR and Lance Dixon have all been good for me.

Nick, Melbourne in winter can get down to zero .. so MikeS may want to pack his thermals, and top temps in the summer. Sydney can get down to about 3-4 C in winter and the odd occasion zero, most mornings when i leave for work its about 6c, you can go skiing in the Snowy Mountains this time of year at Thredbo and Perisher sky Resorts which are about halfway between Sydney and Melbourne .. So not always hot and sunny, not unless of course you go to the whitsundays this time of year where it is a pleasant 25c and sunny  Another Pommie Bar Steward down under

Confirmed with dealer. 1 Year or 24,000km standard. They had a mid oil change scheduled at 36,000km but said this was optional

Re: Temp, I live near Bright in Vic and temps below 0c many nights during winter and 40c+ in summer. Supposedly I live in the area that has the greatest temperature difference summer - winter in Australia.

Would love to move to QLD but kids and wife won't have a bar of it
