Default 2001 Z06 Matenance Questions???

I have a 2001 Z06 with 9500 miles on it. Other than changeing the oil, is there any other things I should get done due to the age?

(brake fluid?-trans fluid?-clutch?)

I'm also replacing tires, went with Bridgestone Potenzas. I wanted Pilot Sports, but everyone has a budget.

Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Hi there neighbor!
Welcome to the C/5 life.
Hope you enjoy your Z... I love mine.
Every where you have a question mark in your post, needs to be performed to include the differential.
Good luck.

Take a look in the owners manual and decide which of the mileage related maintenace items you want to go with. I'd say, plugs, wires, filters and fluids.

Mines an 02 and I've just done the 50k ATF flush. Brake fluid and coolant next.

I say YES to all if you don't have records on the car, all fluids and all rubber belts and hoses, and don't just change the brake fluid get, or do a brake fluid flush.
