Routine Maintanence ?'s

[IEC Stang]

I think instead of getting another mod i'm going to save up and do some maintanence on my car, because well frankly i think it needs it. So i was just wondering what things to do? I am going to change the spark plugs, tranny flush, new windshield wipers, new balb for one of my fog lights, radiator flush, and probably change out the fuel filter. Is there anything that i'm missing? Let me know thanx

Thanx guys for all the info. Yea i was going to bleed my brakes too cause i think they need it. I already changed my spark plugs and winsheild wipers too today. Little by little i'll git er all done, then i'll feel a lot better about my car. :thumb:

Every year is a little excessive, but there's no harm in it. Brake fluid is hydroscopic (that means that the fluid absorbs water :thumb. Brake fluid that is semi-saturated with water will not hold the characteristics of clean brake fluid. Your car won't stop as well because the water will make the brake fluid evaporate some and it can also cause rust to build up in the metal lines... Wow, I feel smart. :coolsmiley:

Next, open your glove box and pull out the manual. There is a complete maintenance program for your car published in there under the recommendations of the people that engineered your car.
