General Preventative Maintainance on 2000
I have a 2000 Auto Coupe with about 17000 miles on it. The only maintainance I've done over the years is to change the oil. What other items should I consider? Coolant flush?

On a 6 year old vette I would do the following, regardless of the miles.

Oil Filter
Trans Fluid
Power steering fluid
Brake fluid
Coolant
Rear diff fluid

I have a 2000 FRC.
At 20K miles, I had replaced all the fluids.
I was gonna change plugs, but I thought they still have alot of life in them.
Next are the tires. EMTs are almost bald at 22K miles and Im thinking if I still want to go EMTs from Firestone or Yokos.

If you have the original battery (highly unlikely) thank your lucky stars you still have a computer, and replace it with an Optima or any good battery before it squirts acid all over your PCM.
