90,000 Mile Services

[TallahasseeQX]

For those that have reached this mileage, what did you have done? My local stealership is recommending 3 different packages ranging from $620-$960 in total. I'm sure I need some portion of these services done, but I'm curious if you all went with something that the dealer recommended, or if you took it to another mechanic and had them do one of their comprehensive treatments.

I partially ask b/c I see another pretty expensive recommended service coming at 105,000 miles as well on their schedule, and another at 120,000.

Thanks!

What do the packages entail?

I bought my car with 79,000 miles on odometer and I knew it was close to getting to 100,000 miles and so I knew I needed to do a major tuneup. I did it all.

Read my thread to get a lot of info...

Between 80,000 and 90,000 miles I did the following
- Drain and fill front differential (done by me)
- Drain and fill rear differential (done by me)
- Drain and fill transfer case (done by me)
- Transmission fluid change (Done by dealership). And about 15,000 miles later, dealership did the same job again. Drain and filled my transmission when they were doing a warranty paid job
- Changed all 8 spark plugs (done by a friend). These plugs are good for 100,000 miles. But 30,000 miles later, I saw a super cheap deal for the plugs on ebay, I bought them and had my mechanic change them for brand new plugs again.
- Changed belt (my friend did this)
- Power steering fluid drain and fill (Done by me)
- Brake fluid drain and fill (Done by me)
- Bleed all 4 brakes (Done by me, after reading procedure on manual)
- Changed air and cabin filter. After about 20,000 miles, I replaced them. And about a month ago, I just replaced them again.
- Changed for all 4 wheels brake pad and rotors wth OEM pads and rotors. Only front rotors are super cheap from China and my car stops on a dime. I swear, I do not baby this QX and I need my brakes top notch and they are top notch.
- Changed wiper bades
- Bought lifetime alignment on my car. So for the life of my car, I just drive into firestone any day I want to and they align my tires for free.

That is my list of all what I have had done. Doing all this listed by the dealer I am sure should run more than $1,000 to maybe $2,500.

You can see what I have done and go to my thread to help you with what you can do or have the dealership do.

There are too many services to list.

And I don't do any of my own service.

I should probably just bite the bullet and get the comprehensive service done. My main concern is that all of the "check/inspect" services = FIND...but I guess I need to know either way.

please just do the compressive.

there is a lot of tech on board this car (mechanical , electronic) and its best to let them smoke over the root to the toot to find out any and everything that MAY be wrong.
