I hit 51K this weekend, with only the original paint issues :roll: , a cracked windshield, and a few radio gremlins that fixed themselves, my 2010 SLS has never had a problem.

Original Dunlop tires are Gone, switched to Hankook in the front, and Falken in the Rear...(dont Ask) :?

So far it's on it's 10th oil change, it's 5th filter change (Royal Purple, Mobil-1, Penzoil, and now trying Amsoil All Syth, all 0-20 in deep winter to 20-50 in Summer, with spring time 5-30. Fram Extendguard 15k/Synth filters.

I paddle shift this car like my Motorcycles

Still love the Kizashi

How do you like those tires vs. the Dunlops?

My Dunlops were down to nothing before I chucked them, so ANYTHING was better..the Hankooks were a bit noisy, the Falken's are in the back so I guess they're ok ??,,,not much driving in the rain here in NJ, so I havn't really tried them there either.

NJKizashi, i'm asuuming you've already changed your coolant at 30k, just curious, what did you use? dealer says that not using "Suzuki Blue/Green Coolant" voids the warranty.

My Coolant is Fine...still has the factory fill, it's only a Jan 2010 car, I feel "Time" as opposed to mostly Highway miles erodes your coolant.

I haven't been back to the dealer once for anything, cept for the original Paint issue which I gave up on. It's only a car used for work...no biggie

Isn't the coolant change at every 60k miles if using the "blue" one, or 30k miles?
They come with the blue one from the factory.

According to my 2011 manual, Blue is changed at 90K, then every 45k after. Green is the traditional. Done every 30K.
