I was only doing oil&filter change since I bought my car in Nov 2014, so based on the age of the car what are the recommended services ?
I've asked the dealership and they (different dealerships) recommend on 30k to do the following (not sure if that too much or should be done now based on the age not just mileage):

1. coolant flush
2. allison trans service
3. auto trans flush and service
4. fuel filter
5. pvc valve
6. air filter
7. engine oil flush
8. motor vac injection cleaning
9. power steering flush
10. brake system flush

Thanks, but also a lot of people in general recommend coolant flush every 2-3 years ( manual says 150k or 5 years) and fuel filter change too which is not mentioned in the manual.

So a couple problems with the recommended services.... Can't do a power steering flush as you don't have power steering fluid.... It's electric steering. You also don't have a fuel filter. If you do it's in the tank and it isn't a serviceable part. You also don't have an Allison transmission so I don't know how you're supposed to get an Allison service, and you don't have a transmission filter to be changed either. Honestly I wouldn't take it to this shop since they clearly don't know the vehicle. Also the PVC system is built into the valve cover and intake manifold. You don't replace it unless it goes. And an engine oil flush? Do they mean oil change?

Being a 2014 they are correct about the other services time wise. But let's be serious, do you really need to flush injectors that haven't been used? If that was the case you'd have to flush injectors that sit on the shelf for so many years that aren't sold.

If you're going based on time and milage (assuming your 2014 was bought in 2013). I'd say yes to the coolant flush (been 5 years), transmission flush (5 years), cabin filter (20,000km and they get dirty) and brake fluid flush (more than 2 years). Air filter entirely depends on whether or not you drive through dusty/dirty conditions. They can easily go to 40-50k in good conditions.

May be the dealer gave a generic list to all cars they serve. I bought my car in Nov 2014 so it is almost 3.5 years old.

Regarding the coolant flush I read on the forum that it is recommended to be done every 2-3 years, how that changed?
