    In part, this will depend on which engine, and what TIME period passes (keeping in mind that maintenance intervals are based on 100 hrs OR 364.99 days (whichever occurs FIRST).

    Dealer labor rate will also have some bearing on the overall cost. BEST to get the quote direct from the dealer performing the service, and know what items are actually being done (make sure they're not just changing oil and get lube and moving on).

    You MAY be able to do some of the maintenance yourself, as steps were taken to make maintenance as "friendly" as possible.
