Wow, Just got my Girl out of the Spa for adjustments on front end rattle and squeaks as well as second Oil & Filter Change and found out Sue doesn’t spend this much for the Spa Treatment! Check the prices of Oil, filter and even slight increase on labor rate.

$490 labor is crazy its less than a 1 hour job. I took Bills advise on oil bought the correct filter, took to my normal shop was able to be under car the whole time and was charged $40.00 labor. It's not rocket science

On the positive note.... I see you were able to get a free vacuum and car wash on the top line . $14.95 Value x2. I just hope that was a hand wash not a drive through.

I know for a fact the mechanic washed it by hand after test driving it 2 miles. He was paid well for his work obviously! 😜

You can buy that oil off ebay. Not sure why only 10w-60 supercar is sold in the states and not the 5w50. You can buy 10w60 on Amazon.

Well tee-hee. Wait until your 30k mile service with the liquid gold transmission fluid replacement! And does your brake lubricant serve to reduce friction between the calipers and the disk pads?

My plan as of now will be to perform all of basic maintenance myself as I have yet to find a local dealership (of any make) to meet my level of expectation. Does any one know if a “shop manual” is or will ever be produced for the new GT?

Yes CD here: FWIW, my 2c the 18 car is a simpler oil change than the 05.

I haven't perused through alldata yet to see how much info is in there but it does show a couple TSB's. One for suspension rattle and I can't remember the other. Alldata has nothing for the 05/06
