Default Re: What should I do in addition to oil change on H3!

Oil change is simple. remove front bolts ,remove passanger side (2nd set of bolts)and loosen the drivers side ,it is longer loosen till about to come off ,loosen the 3rd set of bolts.It will come off ,
I had it up on a lift and didnt see any lub points for grease.I did spray some white grease on linkage and e/ brake,doors hood hatch ect.

The big zip lock bag trick worked for removing filter without dripping down on the frame ,it seems to have a drip pan spot to catch dripping oil.
when done just spray down with brake cleaner, botom of oil pan ect.

Check the front and rear axle fluid levels; just for peach of mind. i would say check the T/case fill too, but that can be tricky, depending on when your vehicle was manufactured. Some fill levels are at the fill plug like the diffs, some are above the fill plug.
Best source of information is the owner's manual and the maintenance requirements. Don't trust a dealer, they will try and sell you everything from a fuel injector cleaning to a flush and fill of the tires with fresh air.

I heard the dealer fills your tire with "special air" which makes the H3 fly over hills instead of driving over them!Thanks for the reply F5stop

True, helps cut costs of front diffs.

I asked the dealer how much they wanted to change the diffs and transfer case fluids. I was told that it was part of a "package" that did both diffs, transfer case, oil change, fluid level check, tire rotation, etc. All that for $699.00 !!! Are you kidding me?

I did all that on mine for under $50.

That is truly spectacular.

I love my dealer.
