I have my tires rotated at Walmart ($30.00 lifetime rotation AND rebalance every 6,000 miles).
Thus our 22,500 "check up" was simply an oil change, approx. cost of $25.00.
baekho6879,
I urge you to tell the dealer what you want done, don't order some "package" that they create. Sounds like one dealer is doing what is necessary (except should suggest a tire rotation) and the other likes to do (or maybe just sell) a bunch of "other stuff". Maybe the $150 dealer is going to change the air in all the tires (we all know that air, like oil, should be changed periodically). |

Interesting you should mention that. There were actually studies done that showed some gas station compressors that were not properly maintained were putting trace levels of oil and excessive moisture into tires. Tires would warm up a speed and lose air as the moisture boiled off. Worse was quicker deterioration of steel cords.
They even tried other gases but never hydrogen. ...yeah, I know, you could have gone all day without knowing this trivia!

| I have an '02 and only did the oil/filter change as specified in the owners manual - since you have an '03, you should refer to your manual. You can also register on Acura's ownerlink and it will tell you the recommended service intervals for your specific model and year. It should also advise of any recalls or service bulletins if your VIN falls in the affected range . . . |

DaleB,
I really was joking. Anyway:
OIL: I suspect that the "oil problem" should it occur would not be simply fixed by "changing the air". Sounds to me like the tires would need to be taken off the rims and then cleaned with a solvent. Even then, I would be skeptical.
WATER: That is interesting. Would seem to me that the water could not escape!! I base that on my assumption that the seal between the tire and rim are airtight (logic seems OK to me!!). Thus, I can't picture why the moisture would create a significant issue to pressure. I don't know what the "permanent moisture" would do to the tire rubber though. |
