1. Every 3,000 miles or 3 months oil change/filter


2. Every year bleed brake and clutch system


3. Every 2 years flush the coolant system


4. Every 25,000 to 30,000 miles replace the pads front and rear, with new emer. pads as well. This may need to be done more often, depends how hard you drive or if attending schools or track events. Adjust the emer. cable length as needed


5. Every 4 years or 50,000 miles, this is where all the work is :
Timing belt and tensor

Water pump and gasket

Thermostat

All drive belts

All water hoses

All vacuum hoses

All rubber gas hoses

Fuel filter

O2 sensor

Valve cover gasket/with 4 rubber dams

Adjust valves and new plugs (valves adjusted from every 15,000 to 20,000 miles with new plugs and gasket and rubber dams

Dist. cap and rotor and I replace the coil as well (optional)

Clean ur Airfilters or replace them.

6. Change tranny and rear end oil (on an automatic the tranny may be need to be serviced more)


7. Other maintenance items would be fan clutch, tires, suspension items, exhaust system and any other necessary item to keep the car in tip top shape as the part(s) fail. I have had the experience that if there are 2 items or more are on the car and one fails, I replace them all. The reason for this is that when one fails, and with the age and mileage of our cars, the others will not be far behind.
