I got free life time oil change with the purchase of the car but as usual I am sure they will charge me on something stupid. Any idea how much am I expecting?

Do you free oil changes include tire rotation? If not, expect that to be under $20.

I have had mine serviced by the dealer twice now and no charges either time.

All depends on the dealer. Free oil changes are a great way to get you into the dealer where they can "recommend" services. Just be absolutely sure to tell them you do not authorize any additional work done besides the oil change. Assuming you can do everything else yourself, free oil changes are a small but nice freebie.

which dealership did u get it from ? i got 7 years free oil change for mine. they charged me at my second service for maintainance, soo brake check, fluids check, tire rotation, air cabin filter change. the total came to about 120 or something. so pretty much every second oil change for me they have to do that maintainance.

Every 10K is way too soon for a cabin filter.

LOL, mine wasant even 10K and they changed it saying it was dirty. i let it go last year because they had already done everything. but this time before i sign any papers i'll make sure i tell them exactly what i want them to do.

My dealer (Rick Hendrick Toyota) only uses partially synthetic Quaker State because of his connection with them in NASCAR, and says to use 5W-30. As for getting anything free from them, HA HA. With Fort Bragg right here the sales are so high that they don't want or have to give away anything.
