Just curious, I had the wife's Cayman done recently and was just seeing if one existed for our cars and if so what consist of it.

Check your belts. If they look okay without cracks you're probably good until the 100k spark plug and coolant interval change. Actually I think the Dexcool is now 150k or 5 years but 100k sounds like a good time to change it out.

That was my main concern was the belts, already did the spark plugs and rear diff fluid and oil every 3000k but just wanted to see if I should take it in...i'm about at 75000 right now. Thanks for the help!

You do oil every 3,000,000 miles? (3000k). Sorry, had to. But seriously, 3000 mile oil change is a waste of money, even if it's conventional oil. If you're doing 3k miles with synthetic, you're really dumping money down the drain.

You forgot to mention changing diff fluid every 3k too. Now THAT is just silly and wasteful.

Well its just the way I've been doing it with the car and doesn't bother me at all. I try to keep it around 3000...I don't sweat it if I go over and I'm aware it's good for way more that but I keep it in that range. I only do that with the oil, I've only changed the Diff fluid once as well as the spark plugs.
