Question Re: Tune-Up
Going in next week to The Vette Docs for maintenance and will have a tune-up with new plugs & wires and a K&N filter clean. Already had the gas filter changed within the past 10,000 miles. Is there anything else that I'm missing??

Coolant? Brake fluid? Power steering fluid? Are they all 6 years old?

Negative. All of those fluids have been flushed less than 10K miles ago.

Rotate the tires and grease the muffler bearing.

Consider a flush and fill on the coolant, check the belts and hoses.
