3k Maintenance

**Oversoul** · 11-14-2010 07:34 AM

Well, it took 15 months but I am finally close to putting 3k miles on my 3.8 w/ MT.
Besides an oil change (switching to synthetics) what other changes should I be considering?
Tranny fluid? (I've had no issues with my tranny).
Should I bring her in to the dealer for TSB updates or simply leave well enough alone?
Any input is appreciated.

Nope 3k service is just oil needed.

I don't get out much & when I do, I'd just as soon go by helicopter. ;)

I can't believe only 3k in 15 months. I put 16K on my 2.0T in 11 months and now have 7600 on my 3.8GT since July. I love driving this car.

I just don't have much opportunity to joy ride. I've actually put less than 1k on the car in the past 10 months.
The last long trip she was on was the West Palm Beach meet last January. Since then, she's spent most of her life locked up in the garage.
I keep hoping to get her out more though. Maybe next year.
