[QUOTE="Lloyd Curry, post: 692892, member: 65127"] Gary, I'm pretty much a do it yourself also. Have used synthetic oil and performed my own oil changes and transmission pan drops for years. Hard to break the habit. With my new Trac, I plan on doing the same. Keep your receipts. I've never had a dealer challenge me on my own maintenance records. I've gotten away from rotating tires. Most important, if you keep the tires inflated properly, the wear difference between front and rear is minimized. That would resolve the TPMS change. I may consider a transmission flush at 60,000. Haven't decided yet. I've heard too many tales of stripped oil plugs, caps left off, hub screws missing and damage to the body from careless vehicle handling to leave it at the shop without me monitoring it. Old dogs tend not to learn new tricks. I guess that's me. [/QUOTE]
