75k Mile Maintenance

[kenny]

My 07 GT/CS just hit 75k miles. What kind of preventative maintenance would you recommend? I've changed the oil every 3k miles and had the transmission flushed around 55k. I know I need to do a complete brake job and will be doing that next month.

Also, I am in Houston and would like recommendations of where to go to get anything done. Thanks.

check ball joints, yup brakes. and flush coolant.
I don't think we are ever supposed to change the transmission fluid though.

plugs
fuel filter
air filter
cabin filter
replace anti freeze

If not already in your plans, I would swap out the brake fluid. Changed mine in the sixxer at 50K miles and it greatly improved the feel of the pedal.

Yep agree, if you haven't already done so..... Brake Fluid
Antifreeze
Trans Fluid
Rear Fluid
Plugs
Fuel filter
Air filter
Cabin Filter

I've heard that too about the trans fluid. If you've done it at an earlier point, such as 30K then it's OK to flush again. However, if you never flushed it, then it's best to never do it...?

I've always gone by transmission service at 60k miles. I also was told and have heard about not changing the transmission fluid ever in a manual trans if it has gone quite a bit over the service interval. And autos were fine.

Theres a chance that it is the total opposite which is why i try to change all my vehicles at 60K. I changed the transmission oil on my 2001 escort auto for the first time at 120k and have had no problems with it yet.

Thanks for the input. I will get these things done.
