Routine Maintenance Question

Curious as to what people are having done at 15k check up, aside from oil change and tire rotation. The manual calls for:

In Cabin Microfilter
Air Filter

I can see the Air Filter if it's dirty, but how often does the In Cabin filter need to be changed for a pretty non-polluted environment?

Also, how often are people having to replace brake pads and re-surface rotors - Aside from the people who got defective rotors to begin with.

I have no brake issues whatsoever, but for longevity's sake, shoudl the rotors be turned routinely? Or just when they start to show symptoms?

You don't have to turn the rotors routinely and they might not require it at the first brake pad replacement for that matter. I suspect it would depend on the condition of them. You shouldn't need an air filter at 15,000 miles. But when you do, why don't you consider a K&N panel air filter?

he is referring to the in-cabin filter inside the glovebax. persoanlly, I'll inspect mine. if it's dirty i'll replace it. if not, i'll wait and check later. It is recommended to replace every year. Not a huge concern, but up to how you value the air you breathe.

brakes would depend on the person looking at them. as long as they're working fine, I wouldn't. dealer may just to make money.

The Micro Filter And The Intake Air Filter Replacements Are All Part Of The 15,000 Mile Schedule Maintenance And Are Already Included In The Overall Price.
My Micro Filter Was Changed However I Nolonger Have The Stock Intake Filter Assemblyinstalled. After Getting My Car Back And Opening The Trunk I Noticed That They Put The New Intake Filter In The Trunk.
Rightfully So Since I Did Pay For It!
If Your Dealer Does Not Give It To You, Ask For It!

Just out of curiosity, How much did the 15,000 mile check up cost?
