It's easy. The dealer wants your repair business in the future. Do yourself a favor and learn how to do simple maintance yourself. You can get a repair manual on e-bay on cd-rom for 3 or 4 dollars. I'm sure other AC owners will help you with any questions you might have. It's your baby, take care of it![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

I don't know if all that is really required, a lot of things have changed over the years. Look at your new car, a member of my family just bought a brand new 2004 Accord, they said not to come back until the 5000 mile oil change.

i just bought a brand new truck and they told me not to touch it before 3000 miles they said they had special breakin oil in it or something like that. after 250 to 300 miles i didn't see any shavings or nothing i guess it wouldn't be such a dumb idea to change it after 100 miles and i wouldn't worry bout your wife holding it wide open these 4 strokes are made more for break em in how you are gonna drive em it is just a basic safety percaution to not hold it wide open to let the rings seat in good

Call me crazy, but I'll stick with the engineers who made the engines and provided the info that went into the owners manual under the "break in" section.

If nothing else...better safe than sorry.
