bummer.. i already have 400 hundred and no change.. too late to do the first change? I will get to it today and do it my self.. is there anything else the dealer does at 600 mile service or is it simply the oil change?? if there is nothign else i would rather do that myself too otherwise it will be close to 200 here in jersey to get it done..
