The car has now over 100,000 Kms on her and still running strong.

Does anyone (HALF-CENT) have any recommendations for service at this point?

Anything I need to chance/replace/refill?

Any advice would be great!

A good suggestion but I am sticking with the same oil I've always used. Mobil 1 Synth. Nothing but the best for my baby.

P.S. I personally think Different type of oil like that are just cash grabs IMO.

Is that supposed to be some joke against GM cars? Because I don't find it funny.

Hey Neil,

Oil change-obvious
drive belt
air filter
tranny service*

Also a good time to check brakes (caliper service) and check rear adjustment.

I think GM claims plugs last 160,000km but a good time to crack them loose (avoid seizing)
and do a quick plug check.



Good luck

Steve.

I'd go ahead and replace the plugs anyway; they aren't expensive. I like to flush the coolant early too, but your car is at most 2 years old so you could probably wait on that. Your call.

Thank you for the advice.

I've done the oil change. Check.

Had my tranny fluid changed already at 50,000 kms so I'm not sure if I need to or not but it's a great idea. Maybe.
Drive Belt. Not done yet, great idea. Will do.
Air Filter. Will do.
Brakes. Can't afford yet. Will do when can afford.
Spark Plugs. Already changed at 78,000. Check.

Thanks again Steve.
It's about time someone just gave me a straight up answer.
