I just purchased a 2008 Armada LE and was contemplating following their Premuim Maintainance Schedule. I had a 2004 Armada that I did not follow this prescribed plan and was wondering if anyone has an experience or recommendations on this?

What actually is the schedule of the premium plan????

It's in the service manual. Basically it's A LOT more touch points on the vehicle each time you have it serviced. I don't know if it is worth the money or not.

I really don't believe it would be worth it.

if you buy the plan why not follow the prescribed plan. The lowest I was quoted $1675 for the Gold Preferred Premium Plan 5yr/75k it sounds worth it considering the 30k and 60k service will run @ $750 each plus the oil changes run @ 45 each figuring with just those..4 x $45= $225 per year5 year total = $1125 for oil changes alone15k service= ?30k service= $75060k service= $750total is = $2625 saving you a whopping $950 at todays dollar value......

Just don't finance that plan into your monthly payment b/c you'll lose some of those savings.

Personally, I follow the normal driving schedule for our vehicles and I don't have a problem. Our PF has 125K and is going strong. My old G20 had 176K before it got t-boned. I typically service the vehicles at the dealership while they are under warranty and then switch them to my trusted local mechanic after that. I do use synthetic oil though.

IMHO those service schedules are meant to scare you into spending more $$$$ at the dealership.

Actually you can finance the extended warranty thru nmac for 0% interest all you need to do is lump this in at the same time and you can finance both for 0%.

There is a 0% offer on the Armada? Wow...that is great!

So let me see if I understand this. If I take my Infinity in for the regular scheduled maintenance it's going to cost me roughly $2625, 5yr/75k mi. But, if I get the premium service agreement all those trips to the dealer for maintenance are covered as in I don't have to pay? Hell, I'd finance the deal just for the piece of mind if that I don't have to shell out $750 every time I pull into the dealer for service. I'm new to Infinity and have taken my 93 PF to Jiffy Lube for service since day 1. Will I really save $1200 with the Premium Sevice Plan?
