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!

holy my 05 just hit 15,000 last night.

mine is around 32,000km right now and i thought i drive a lot =P

well you could switch to high mileage engine oil i suppose

what is 100,000 KMs in actual us miles? Like 75,000 or something? Just wondering.

RedBaseBolt

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.

63,000 Miles+ or so.

100,000 Kms = 62137.1192 miles

Can someone please give me suggestions rather then telling me how many clicks they are at?

my gm dealer have a big board of recommended services at various km's, go and look at what they say to do then go do it somewhere else for less

I put 35k miles on my car in my first year of having it. Damn delivery job Oh yea and there was a trip from Texas to PA in there as well so that didnt help.

2 months shy from owning the balt a yr, only put 78xx or 79xx on here. 2 oil changes is all I've done! My tires are good, no need for a rotation, maybe at 15,000. I thought I drove a lot..............wait...................it's winter!!!!! Summer will changed all that! lol

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.

RedBaseBolt

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.

PatDamanCobalt

When should Tranny fluid be changed roughly? Im at 43000km and so far only maintenence i have had was oil changes. Have had breaks checked and stuff.

senior_brown

man just do a full tune up like back in the day, thats what i'll do when i hit 100,000km,

oil, intake filter, gas filter, spark plugs, some lube, coolant. doubt you need anything else,

ssmitty85

just look under your hood. fluid dirty. replace it. air filter dirty replace it. brake pads low. replace them. you get the idea

senior_brown

^^^yup
