Ok i just hit 60K and my dad recommended getting some things done to prolong lhe life of my car. im definately going to go and get a coolent flush but he also recommended geting a new fuel filter and replacing the trans oil (im auto). are there any more smalll tune up things that should be done? and is replacing the trans fluid nessicary because i think it says in the manual that its not nessicary to change the trans oil???

Trans oil is preference
Maybe motor oil change
spark plugs
clean air filter
rotate tires
and fuel filter

Spark plugs are NGK obviously stock heat range because I'm pretty sure your N/A. As for fuel filter I plan on doing mine soon and brand shouldn't be a big deal

Kolt

Spark plugs, air filter, cabin filter, flush brake fluid (i personally recommend doing every 30k), trans flush, (flush and filter again at 100k), check&clean throttle body. check coolant/flush (i flush every 50k). clean&adjust brake drums if u have them. fuel filter(every 20-30k.)

Get ac delco spark plugs

im so confused on which fuel filter and spark plugs to get. im really about to just go to the dealer and get exactly what came stock.

Just call the auto parts store and ask for a fuel filter for your yr model and choose on the ones they have

I didnt know auto trans on these cars needed to be flushed at 60k, I thought 100k since it is an enclosed type tranny?

GRok25

here are the three from ngk
NGK G-PowerŽ Spark Plugs
NGK Laser IridiumŽ Spark Plugs
NGK Iridium IXŽ Spark Plugs

Im assuming the g power is the best since its platnum tip...? i read somewhere that its best for our cars

Squints

iTrader: (4)

Its not required at 60k but if your doinga major tune up you might as well do that too while your down there

Squints

Just use the g-power. NGK is a good company unless your running performance mods theres no real reason to upgrade you plugs to the iridium ones

GRok25

to what extent do you consider performance mods. im pretty much fully bolted, tune, header downpipe, catback, intake, throttle body... im not turbo so theres no need to go 1 step colder but i just dont know which plugs are best, i missfire everyonce and a while at high rpms on the stockers

GRok25

arent the ac delco's the stock ones? why do you like them, do you misfire on these?

GRok25

Has anyone tried the ZZP fuel filter???
ZZPerformance - Fuel Filter for LSJ & LE5 #ZZ-FF-LSJLE5

chevygirl2006

Yes they are stock and no I don't misfire

u should be fine running pretty much any fuel filter that says its for your car. when i replace mine im gonna use the zzp one since its just a stock replacement anyways

Someone fully explain coolant flush. Just drain, fill, run, drain, fill, run, fill?

GRok25

yeah there should be a valve or cap on the bottom of the radiator to drain the coolent
