Re: What Maintnance Do I Need?

replace the transmission fluid, a tune up wouldn't hurt, and start thinking about replacing the timing belt.. my 04' has 75k miles and the belt is loose and needs replacement spark plugs should still be good too.

Re: What Maintnance Do I Need?

Change the tranny fluid.
Timing belt should be good until 100k
Check your plugs, but they should be good until 100k (never hurts to change them though)
Check/change air filter
check/change in cabin filters
I would bleed your brakes, but it isn't necessary
Grease your door/hood hinges

speedfoos is an unknown quantity at this point
Re: What Maintnance Do I Need?

If it's an automatic, I'd change the tranny fluid every 30K. I'm a little over-excessive on maintenance but that fluid takes more of a beating than the manual fluid does.
