I'd like to start a repository of knowledge for recommended maintenance for our cars. Do we already have that?? I didnt find it with a quick search.
What I'd like is a list of what needs to be done to our cars, and recommended intervals. I picture this as an evolving "document" that can eventually be compiled into a single reference thread.
I would hope we could have a link to dicussions and how-tos.
Here's the type of items I'm thinking about (some of the details may be wrong, please correct me!):
Continuing:
Oil changes................every 3,000 miles or 1 year oil discussion and oil filter discussion: here. How-to: here)
Cabin Air Filter............when things stop smelling fresh or every year
Engine Air Filter...........
30,000 Miles
Differential Fluid..........(link to relevant discussion, as I KNOW this varies from year-to-year: here)
Transmission Fluid.......(link, maybe. More standardized. Maybe just list "Subaru Extra-S" or Redline something-or-other)
Serpentine Belts.........(list sizes for both belts)
Coolant.....................(link to discussion about brands/addatives/premixed: here)
etc...
60,000 Miles
etc...
Whaddya think?
Placeholder list of things to be categorized and linked:
Brake Rotors
Brake Pads
Brake Fluid (good post here)
Timing belts
Various Bushings
Spark Plugs
Power Steering
O2 sensors
MAF
Crank Position Sensor
Coolant tubes
