    Since I have read about dealers performing the 5k services incorrectly, how about let's make a checklist to check for the most common mistakes?

    Here's what I have:
    * Make sure the oil is the correct type (0W-20) and not overfilled.
    * Make sure the oil change panel is latched securely.
    * Make sure the wheel covers are reinstalled tightly.

    If you have your tire pressures over spec., ask them to leave them alone, and verify after the service, while you're still there.
