Maintenance needed at 49k miles?
I've always done all of the maintenance on my cars in the past but over the 3 years I've owned the s2000 I really haven't done too much in terms of maintenance. The car drives just fine, but since I pulled the cover off of the car the other day I figure there's probably work that needs to be done.
'00 black s2000 with 49,000 miles. I changed the trans fluid (GM Syncromesh) last year as well as the diff fluid (Mobil 1). I just changed the oil for the season (Mobil 1) but what else needs to be done?
I did a quick search, but I'm sure I missed something. I bought the car used in '04 but didn't get any manuals, paperwork, etc... with the car.
mods:
K&N FIPK
Passport Escort 8500 x50 hardwired
XM Sportscaster hardwired
Garmin Nuvi 350 hardwired
Sony HU
Infinity speakers (headrest/doors/rears)
10" Alpine sub
2 - Kenwood amps (1 interior speakers + 1 sub)
20% visibility tint (driver & passenger side)
SS mesh grill
hardtop strikers
Rick's leather console cover
Rick's VooDoo shift knob
Rick's "s-badges" on front/rear/steering wheel
17" wheels
**not really much of a mod**
ability to lower the top while moving (thanks s2ki.com
)
Any suggestions greatly appreciated.
