Re: C4, Lt1, 1995 (DRAZEN)
I 'd recomend changing all the fluids. Flush the radiator & clean the "no mans land" portion of it, tran service, diff fluid, & fuel filter. I believe in over maintaining my vehichles. I know I'm **** about it (especially my Vette) but it can't hurt to take to well care of your car. :yesnod:

Re: C4, Lt1, 1995 (DRAZEN)
If it's got a ZF6, you don't need to touch it yet. I'd wait until 25-30K miles. GM claims it doesn't ever need to changed, but that isn't what the manufactuer of the tranny says. See this FAQ...

Re: C4, Lt1, 1995 (DRAZEN)
I change the fuel filter, coolant, trans, diff and brake fluids every year (oil & filter every 3-4K) we do about 20K/yr. I know it's probably overkill, but we just turned 150K miles. It's not that expensive.
OTOH, I seem to add fluids to my 87 Honda whenever it runs dry :eek: It's got 187K.

I'm C4, Lt1, 1995 owner! I bought my car with 14 000 miles and now it has 17000. I was changed engine oil and filter.
What else do I need to change?

You dont know how the previous owner took car of it?
If not, I would suggest a change of ALL fluids, including coolant.
Air and fuel filter changes also should be considered seriously.

Re: C4, Lt1, 1995 (DRAZEN)
everyone has pretty much said what needs to be said, but i'll add just one note on low mileage cars that are older..
make sure you thoroughly flush the coolant system, all of it! remove the knock sensors from the block and drain everything.. don't just drain the radiator.. chances are you'll find a significant amount of rust due to the large amounts of idle / storage time..
run lots of water through the block before re-installing the sensors and refilling with coolant..
