Hello everyone,
New user here, but I have had my Tahoe for 2 years. I get all my service done at the dealership, and like most dealerships, they are looking to nickle and dime me at every chance they get.
The Tahoe manual shows that it has a very easy maintenance schedule, with not much to do. In contrast, my Jeep that I owned before my Tahoe broke down everything by 3,000 miles and what should be done along with every oil change.
I am going to get my oil change next week (at approx 50,000 miles) along with my normal service and tire rotation. They are also requesting that I get a transfer case fluid change for the 4WD (I remember putting this off at my last appointment, mostly because they are asking for $300 for it without any coupons) and an air induction to remove carbon deposits.
I don't use my 4WD that often, and it stays mostly in 2 wheel high... with all the snow we had this winter, I did have to throw it into 4WD high or 4WD auto a few times, but other than that I rarely am in 4WD and I don't go off roading. I see in the manual it mentions a fluid change at 50,000 miles but when towing frequently or under harsh conditions, or 100,000 miles under normal conditions.
Is all this dealer crap or does anyone recommend doing this?
Also, when do you get your oil changed... at a specific mile interval or when the on board computer tells you to get it changed?
Thanks in advance!
