Default How often?

How often do you all perform maintance on your S2K? Since the car is a high revving engine car...are their any "extra" maintance involved?

Check the oil often (like 1-2k miles).
Check the tire wear more often.
Check the spark plugs often if you're FI.

I check the oil with every gas fill up, you know, just like in the "olden" days. I also check to see if the tires look inflated.

Other than that, I follow the owner's manual.

Follow your owners manual....Keep up on the recommended maintenance. Check your fluid levels often. Same as tire pressure! Thats about it.

Oil, filter, and spark plug change every 5,000.
Diff, clutch, brake, and tranny fluid change every 15,000.
Tires whenever they are needed.

man thats pretty often to change your spark plugs... considering you only have to do it every 105000 miles... thats pretty wild and expensive...

I would just change your diff tranny and oil.. as directed by your manual..

if you're N/A and close to stock, there's nothing wrong with following the owners manual.
