    What's involved in doing a service on an FZ6?

    I made a little excel sheet for my self maintenance with the factory recommended time/mileage. It is not everything just some of the more routine stuff. I had to put it in a winzip file because I am not sure how to upload an excel file here. I did it for the 2009 but the schedule is the same...
