Default AT 60k? What to do?

Hey, I just bought my car from the dealership, It has 60k on the odometer.

What's the maintenance I have to do for the car?.
Please let me know!

I'd like to keep the motor running safe first and the I am looking to mod the car.

W/ regular bolton + nitrous.

Thanks!

Chevrolet or GM dealer?
The dealer should have done the 60,000 mile service on it.
That's a big one and they should have included it in the deal IMO.
And tell them the oil must be Mobil 1 like it had from the factory. I've had a dealer put in the wrong oil and I made them re-do the job. You would think they know what to use but they ain't the sharpest tools in the shed.

Maybe you should ask the dealer about that 60K service.
And did they give you all the previous service records?
Did you get a CarFax report?

Just some things to think about.

CLutch fluid if manual, wrap the clutch line.

Mine had a VERY easy 30k on it when I got it. it needed brakes and I did all the fluids along with it. Good matience will make it run well past 100k.

hmm my maintance for 60K would include something like change the oil, probably dino oil for the first couple thousand miles cause you just had to put lower compression forged rods and pistons in there, and since is LCR you have to put a turbo kit on there, then upgrade to a th400,, 9" stonger driveshaft, sticky tires, then lube, no upgrade the suspension, the fuel lines are probably needing maintance so put some 10 an braded fuel hose and a couple of big pumps and regulator in there, then wash and wax and your done.

Forgot the standard nitrous service purge the bottle, fill bottle, bottle heater, window switch functional and then a quick road test. Add a fuel filter to your list and you'll be good.
