And if the answer is Yes, I know Steve's payment - what's yours?!

I also want to replace oil/filter and change the trans and diff fluids... is that something doable in a day or should I make an appt with dealer or Scott?

I was considering brake fluid as well - worth doing at 2 years/20k?
Works for me, I generally accept beer as payment. I'll probably be hosting a bigger Tech Day sometime in April, but what you want to get done shouldn't take more than an hour or so if you want to do it separately.

Either way is fine with me I just want to get out of the house! Maybe both Hopefully winter / snow will end early this year. If so I will want to get my car out early and get all this done early.

But see if you just tell me "beer" I will bring Bud or Mic Light I want to know what you like. Everyone has a favorite... ?

You change yours 12 times a year? I can see once a year but really more than that... ?

I like the more expensive stuff. Typically I drink Samuel Adams Boston Lager. I switch to Samuel Adams Octoberfest in the fall since I think it's the best Sam Adams flavor, but they stupidly limit this to one season.

All right, I've filed the beer info into my '2008 S Events' file folder

I'm getting an awfully to do long list especially with the brake fluid - I am not 100% familiar with the procedure but it seems like that can take longer - and will I need any special tools for any of this?

I already know I need supervision If that can't be provided I will need goto the dealership

Depends on how you want to bleed the brakes. Since I don't have a vacuum bleeder, I just do the two-person method. One person sits in the car and pumps the brake, the other mans the bleed screw.
