Fluids - List of Warranty Covered Items

[chefwong]

Just got the X back from the dealer for hopefully the last visit before warranty expires.

They even gave me a free oil change to boot even though I did not ask for it.
I did ask them to check and R/R pads and rotors ....but the tech reported they were fine.

For those that are new or dunno, on the X, just another Repost on fluids covered under Warranty

You are entitled to a free brake flush every 2 years.
Oil changes whenever the light is up, or every 1 year regardless of lights or mileage.
Coolant Flush is covered as well.

On the coolant flush, I do not know what the time period is on this and didn't even realize it was covered until one of the stealers sent in a reminder stating u have not been in for a visit lately, blah, blah.

So the only thing remaining that's on your dime and time is power, diffys and tranny. All of which I recommend as well, if you intend on keeping your X past the 4 yr mark. Hell, on diffys alone, I prefer 30K changes.

Good info, but a couple of clarifications:

1) No fluids are covered under warranty in terms of replacement. You are referring to the maintenance plan. Warranty only covers defects.

2) There are three levels of maintenance plan: Full, scheduled, and none. The US has full maintenance. Canada (and possibly elsewhere) has scheduled maintenance, which means only those items scheduled at a set time. For example, brakes are not covered in Canada because they are a wear item, unlike with full maintenance in the US. Finally, many countries have no maintenance included with the vehicle. Those countries still have a warranty (time and mileage limits vary) but warranties don't cover wear and maintenance items.
