$60 for a service manual.. let's put that into perspective for you.
Oil change at a dealer will cost you $125 minimum
5 qts synthetic oil - $60 (4 for engine, 1 for transmission)
1 qt formula + for the primary - $8
gasket set which includes the primary inspection cover gasket and 3 o-rings - $12
oil filter - $16
that's 60 + 8 +12 + 16 = $96 (and that's if you're as **** as I am and change all 3 fluids each 2500 miles) most only change engine oil at 2500 miles. to each his own.
so that's $96 and a wealth of knowledge in your hands with the service manual. Absolutely PRICELESS

As for commercial manuals, they are very general, cover a great many years, don't cover everything and sometimes are plain wrong. A factory manual will only deal with your model, possibly only one or very few years, and is written by the manufacturers.
When you have been in here a little longer you will find this subject comes up frequently, with the same answers!
