I know a lot of folks on the board do their own but I am going to have the dealer do it. In addition to what is listed in the manual, what else should I have them check. Some of you have identified some weaknesses in QC from the factory. Any areas that I should mention? Preferred oil?

Thanks

Make sure they don't overfill the oil reserve. It happened to me twice...twice! A total violation of the "Johnny Dangerously" code of ethics.

Me too! It only happened to me once. Pretty odd to check the oil after a big expensive service like that and find it way up above the FULL (over full? I fergit...) line.

I also forget the name of the kitchen implement I used to draw out the excess - a baster?
