my v6 calais is due for its 190000 service im thinking about doing it myself can anyone tell me whats involved and what needs to be replaced thanks

Do you have the service book? It will tell you the schedule of items to be replaced at each service. 190k I'm sure it's just oil and filter and check everything else. If the car has had it's scheduled services then the parts that needed replacing at each service should have been replaced. If you are unsure, then do everything if you can. Plugs, leads, air filter (replace or clean depending on which type you have), fuel filter, auto trans service if you are able, brake fluid and coolant flush. Keep a note in your book when you do it and then you can start your own record. All up it should only set you back $150-$180 or there abouts.

Yep, same as 190, the manual says change oil and filter and check the rest.

how do u clear the service thing on your comp after you do the service

With the ignition off, hold the up and down buttons on the trip computer, turn ignition on, wait for 3 seconds, use the mode button to step through the screens until the service due reminder is shown (usually just one press), press and hold the up and down buttons until you hear a beep. Turn ignition off. Reminder is reset.
