Just Hit 55,000 miles what to do now

autobahnsuby · 01-14-2008, 06:58 PM

So i just hit 55,000 miles and i was wondering what service i should do on my car. i bought the car about a year ago with 38,000 miles on it. and since i bought it i have done the brakes, the clutch, changed the tranny gear oil and rear diff gear oil, and of course regular oil changes. So when should i change my timing belt, coolant or any thing else i am not thinking of.

thanx

So why is this in the how to section?

Not to trying to a smart ass, but owners manual is very handy for this. I dunno if brake system flush is in the manual, but it's something you might wanna do at this point as well.

well since my car just recently hit 60,000, i'm planning on changing all the fluids (tranny, rear diff, oil, brakes, coolant), relube my rear struts, clean engine bay, clean intake filter, replace fuel filter, check for leaks, and whatever else i can find if i have the time.

you don't need to replace the timing belt at this interval. I plan on replacing my clutch (still on first stock clutch) around 75,000 miles and timing belt around 80-85,000 miles.

According to the manual the timing belt doesn't need to be done til 90K I believe. 60K service requires changing spark plugs, coolant, brake fluid, etc. Check the manual it'll tell you what you need to do.
