Double wrench service confusion...
Today I changed the oil on my Xfire. Its on 64K and is an 06 model. I have no service history, but the FSS was indicating it was oil chance time.
So for good measure, I replaced the oil, oil filter, air filters and auxillary belt and coolant. Im going to do the fuel filter in two weeks. I greased everything hinge wise and am going to go through all visible bolts, remove, clean with a wire brush and refit with grease. I've already done most under-car bolts. I'm also going to get the car on a lift and put anti-rust coating on the underside.
I reset the FSS today and it now says 10,000 miles a double wrench is due. But I thought double wrench was due at 60,000?
Although I have no service history I know the front discs and pads are new, the rears are looking very good (disc and pads) and all four tyres are brand new.
I read the double wrench service post and also had a look at the service schedule, but I'm hell confused - should I just ignore the double wrench and do standard?

Although my confusion isnt over what items should be done, it if it should be done at all as according to what I've read, I should have just had a double wrench service 4K miles ago, or have just had one when I bought the car.
