Car is stock with new tires.

In case if anyone needs some reference photos for their suspension / undersides / what diaqueen SSTF looks like new or something, and the diaqueen SSTF is not cheap compared to ATF rofl.

How much did the 10k service cost you? I just hit 10k in my '14 MR and need to take it in.

 

It was not a full 10k service (I did oil change before, and the filter changes before) and just the SST oil change and the sst filter change.

This was at a dealer and costs me 658.18

which is

155 LABOR
106.72 2513A040 CASE ASSY, M/T CASE OIL (Filter kit, search for the part #)
251.76 C0002610 SST FLUID, DIAQUEEN, SSTF

Then tax 44.70

All of it was reasonable close to what you'd get on the net, and since this was dealer it was a peace of mind for me.

Also, I asked to retain the unused SSTF, and it had the batch No L20170803 012 Shipment No L454223

Not sure what that means, likely printed at the dealer or else it is suspiciously fresh oil (IE received that day? I know I made an appointment before hand but...)

and


you will need 2 cans for 8L (you need 7L for the car, and 1L leftover in case something went bad during change so you are not short)

 

Awesome. Thanks for the info.

 

Nice photos! Awesome tires you have there. ADVAN Neova AD08R? Thanks for sharing.

 

yeah AD08Rs after I nuked the factory after 8k miles...

not sure if it was the smartest thing but they are holding up much better, and gripper.

 

Users have reported AD08R’s as being a superb road and track tire.

 

oh I know, but the thing is since it came out there is like the RE-71, and the pilot sport cup 2 and what nots (pilot sport 4s as a lower performance but nicer riding version too) and a whole bunch of new stuff coming out.

while the AD08R is a bit old now.

 

Hankook RS-4 is a great tire for road and light track use, as it wears very slowly for its grip
