Hi,

I bought a GU8 recently and it is for its 110k service. What are the things I need to ask for the dealer to look for/change regardless of the service manual suggestion.

The trol was used by a company manager and serviced by dealers (due to its warranty, I believe).

It also comes with a 3 year / 150k kms Toyota warranty (Toyota dealer sale).

Thanks with regards,
Escix.

check condition of the intercooler, if its oily and dirty it needs replacing.

watch out if that's a warranty service they will only do engine oil and filter

rex,

it is not a warranty service, but a regular 110k service. The warranty requires the service as recommended by the manufacturer - I am still not sure whether I need to do the service by Toyota or Nissan dealer.

During the service, do I need to look for anything else for eg: diff oil, coolant, a/c, .. etc?

Cheers

Escix,

whenever I buy a second hand car, I do like to do all the fluids, so I can see what is going on....

This will happen for you anyway at 120,000, but you can do it now as well for peace of mind if you like
