Look at the sticky thread at the top of this forum, it has the Scheduled Maintenance information in it.

I use the preventive maintenance schedule. Great little book.

 

not to thread jack.. but no need to make another thread..

my question is, do you need to start replacing anything when the car gets older??.. my 03 has 25k miles so ive never really had to change anything or even worry about it.. but i did see in the preventive maintenance book itll say like like 50k miles or 3 years.. is it really neccessary to follow the years? if thats the case im way overdue for some things.

 

Yes. You go by miles or months in service - whichever comes first. Take for example transmission fluid. You do not want the same fluid sitting in the transmission for 7 years.

 

belts, engine oil, bleed the clutch fluid out and put some new in, change tranny fluid, and rear diff. fluid, lubricate the chassis, along with anything else that needs attention
