  • 42,000 Mile Service

    Just wondering what everyone recommends for bumper-to-bumper service. Have a lil extra $ an I'm done with mods for now so I wanna make sure my car is still running and looking Mint. What do you all recommend. Besides oil change, tranny change, ETC. Thanks

    Okay, obviously just do the ones you have done fairly recently. I'll give you a few things that should have been done at least once by 42k.

    Oil and filter (duh)
    Tranny fluid and filter
    Rear gear oil
    Plugs and Wires
    PCV valve
    Fuel Filter
    Brakes (maybe)
    Air filter (definitely)

    I hope I remembered everything. But that gives you an idea.

      I just rolled over 39,000 and was thinking the same thing.
      but I have a question, how often does the tranny fluid and rear gear oil need to be changed? I have never even thought about either of those.
      oh and if I were to make a list I would add...

        I've done the obvious things as well as changing the tranny fluid at 35K. I've heard the plugs and wires aren't a nessecity since the plugs are good till 100K. I believe I'm capable of any of these projects however, more specific what are the little things I can do to prolong the life of my car? Should I recharge the AC, flush the brake lines, flush coolent, grease the weatherstriping?

          Plugs should definitely be changed more oftern than 100k!

          I change my TR-6's about every 5k.

          But....I'm anal about maintenance.
