Default servicing your Z06

I have a 2002 Zo6 with 21,000 Mi. I was wondering what you guys do for servicing your vehicles? Do you do 5K mile checkups? What should i look out for at 21,000 Mi? Any input would be much appretiated.

Nah-Mine is parked safely in the garage!

21,000 miles hmmmmm!

There is a debate on clutch life. Perhaps you may want to have yours check out!

Also, if you have original tires, check the tread! May be time for new ones!

PS. Post a PIC of your Z06!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If you have had regular oil changes and stuff, you should be okay.

Do you have your car serviced at the dealer?

I suggest finding a dealer that has a GM Master Mechanic and become friends with him.

15,000 miles: replace air cleaner, inspect brakes
30,000 miles: replace air cleaner, consider sperpentine belt replacement
every 6 months: silicon grease all weatherstripping, inspect seat belts and wiper blades, check transmission and differential fluid levels
every 12 months: lubricate key lock cylinders and all body hinges and latches
every 24 months: flush brake fluid

It's the same as every other vehicle on the road, and depends on how you treat it. I'm not one for the $300 dealer service specials :nonod: but I look after all my vehicles very well. :cheers:
