so ive had my car since november 06 (thats 14 months for the slow ones on here) and im currently at 28k with some change. Ive taken my car to the dealership for oil changes since the first 5k, but synthetic being so expensive at the dealership (close to 100 dollars), ive decided to start chaging the oil myself, apart from the oil and oil filter, what else should i check/change at 30k miles, my engine is completely stock with no work done whatsoever (apart from a spipe-back exhaust that doesnt count)

thanx in advance for everyone who chimes in!

 

change your trany fluid. check brake pads/rotors maybe too

 

the owners manual tells you what maintenance to do and when...

 

the maintenance guide has a list for 5,10,15.20k miles and so-on

i believe all you have to do is change oil and trans fluid and rotate tires, check your air filter, check your brake pads and rotors,.

 

saw my owners manual, but i wanted suggestions from owners on what should be done?

 

eh not really too much. i guess you could change your spark plugs or something but i doubt theyre at the end of their service life.

 

air filter, brake pads if they are getting low, machine rotors if needed.

maybe one of those injector cleaner bottles? =p

 

So guess theres not much to do... i was expecting a long list..... i guess im just bored!! LOL

but thanks everybody

 

understand you want to work on your car. but not much needs to be done
