I rotated my tires back in feb but im looking at getting a full set of those after i get the turbo kit, as well as slotted rotors and hawk pads. should i do any flushes?

i ask because this is the first car ive earned from the beginning and i want to make sure i take care of it just as much.
crap my 06 is at 60k and i forgot to take it in at 30k...

my wifes 2.2 has 45000 on a 05 and it's never been in except for warranty same with my 06. they just look at the brakes rotate tires change oil and charge you too much

On an auto tranny you don't wanto to flush your tranny often at all. On a manual it don't matter change it every week if you want

how do you do a power steering flush on our cars considering we have electronic power steering?

You use a vacuum device to suck the old electrons out and make room for the fresh ones

Really, if it's an auto, a tranny flush / filter change at 30k is not a bad idea, was shocked at the crap that came out of the wifes Taurus

Oil and filter change, fuel filter change, rotate tires, check brake wear, check for loose **** underneath, check coolant level (both tanks if so equipped), check trans level (manual), lube door / hood / trunk hinges and latches, check for leaks, check cabin and engine air filter, check serpentine belt for wear, check hoses for softening......pretty basic stuff that you can do yourself, no need to pay the stealership rates for this kind of work.
