That'll get you your first oil service (~16,000 km) and first inspection (~ 39,000 km). Break-in oil change at 2,000 km is still recommended but I'm pretty sure it is not included in this package.</p> <p>Regards, David 05 MCS BEP</p> My bad, it was mentioned right there at the end! :-) Oh, and it is ‘no-charge’ scheduled maintenance.
