OK, it's been a while since I've posted, but I am read everything.
Those who contribute regularly, THANKS!!!
Now, on to the question: Has anyone, who performed their own services encountered difficulty in removing the filters for the first 50 hour service? I performed mine (base on my dealers advice, since it is relatively easy...) and had no problems, except when it came time to remove the HVT Yellow Trans filter (it sits above the rear passenger axle). I couldn't remove it! It was on with superglue!! What prompted me to inquire is because it is on so tight that the housing that the filter screws into began to rotate!!! That's when I stopped and said, this isn't right. I called my dealer, who promptly had the Service Manager call me, and will be sending a Road Service Crew, to remove the filter and insure all is well. No meniton of costs to me, which I will not pay, as removing a filter should not be this difficult. I conveyed to them that it seems to me that when the vehicle was assembled, somehow this filter was rotated a little too far, so I expect this issue to be covered under warranty.
Has anybody experienced a similar challenge?
Again, to those who contribute regularly, we do appreciate it!!
