Hello
New member here. I bought what I consider to be a lovely E86 3.0 Si last autumn . Its now due its first service in my ownership. The conundrum is; what type? Here are some details. Its done just under 59k miles, its recent history is as follows:
Insp I @ 34784 on 6-9-12
Insp II @48002 on 12/5/15
Oil/Brake fluid/mico filter and coolant at 53633 on 21.3.17
Insp II , Oil, micro filter, air cleaner element at 26317 on 23/10/19
Insp I, Oil, brake fluid, micro filter, air cleaner element @ 57137 on 13/4/22
Oil, brake fluid, coolant @57874 on 10/6/24.
As I said, its now driven just under 59k miles. First Indie garage suggested Oil, Oil filter and Pollen Filter. Second garage said it was up to me; I said I was seeking advice and the reply was you could add in spark plugs or go for a full service. A bit of research later I think I understand that the schedule goes - Insp I then oil service then Insp II then oil. Brake and coolant every 2 to 4 years (not sure I've changed coolant that frequently in any other car), Gearbox oil at 30k miles or 5 years and Diff oil at 60k miles.
I'm not quite clear on the difference between an Insp II and a Full Service?
From what I can deduce, I probably need an Oil and Oil filter change, Brake Fluid change and coolant change along with the cabin filter. Looking forward to more educated suggestions. For the record I expect to do about 1 maybe 2k miles a year.
Many thanks in advance.
