what actually needs to be done? the mechanic at the local dealership was very not sure on the phone - first he said the valves needed to be checked, then he said they did not need to be untill 24K service. i have the maintenance manual, but i'm not too clear with all the "I" and "-" in the chart.

If i had the oil and oil filter changed 4K ago, what do i actually need done?

Also - is it worth the time asking them to ceck out some engine sweating and vibration noises at 6kRPM? The sweating apears at around one of the engine 'seams' - only appears on one side, but still there and still bugging me. I just don't want to pay for hours of labor and find out 'it's normal...'

thanks guys,
Dmitry.

"I" - means inspect it to see if there is anything wrong
"-" - means you can leave it, it should not need inspecting

12k km/7.5k mi is the intermediate service, you do everything you would at a minor service + spark plugs, clean/replace air filter, sync throttle bodies etc.
