Actually, I've never changed the filter or oil in the SVX. It has always been done as part of the routine service package. Hmm.... almost time for another drive down to Switzerland for a Spring tune-up. |

I've never changed the oil in my svx either. I like taking it to the dealer for regular service. It makes me feel like a good svx owner.

It's a good practise to wash your car before having it worked on by a mechanic. This shows you respect the mechanic's work and makes it easier for him/her to do their job.
...also less chance they will disrespect your car.

I got bawled out by a mechanic for washing the car before bringing it in. He said that with a dirty car it is easier to see leaks and drips and trace them to the point of origin. Since then I always bring my car in dirty.
Just another perspective |

I suppose it depends WHY you're taking the vehicle in.

I always wash my car before she does to the mechanic (ok the one time), I wanted to be able to see any grease they got on my car and once she came home i wanted to look good driving my clean, well shifting car. Thats pretty sad. My boyfriends mom is like that, she thinks changing the oil is dangerous and refused to let me teach her son how so he and his loser friend took it to walmart to have it done by a professional. It makes for good argument material when he starts laying in on me about me or my family. At least my mommy lets me change my own oil! |

Just to clarify, I have done work on my old Toyota... even changed the spark plugs though it played havok with my nail polish Gosh, I loved that car... used to have to fill the oil and check the gas... And to top it all off... I even changed a burnt out rear turn light Naw.... Now I'm just old and lazy and let the mechanic do it as part of regular maintenance. Anyone remember the good 'ole days when a pair of stockings could fix just about anything? |

Air Filter
Hi everyone, Could the "Air Filter" the lady was talking about be the one that filters the cabin air? Changing one of those up under the dash would be a good one the pay a guy to do. As has been said many times"Just a thought:" Take care, BOBB
