Default 80K mile maintenance



My 02 Z M6 is about to hit 80K what maintenance and or replacement items would you suggest?

I am thinking Airfilter, Plugs and Wires,Fuel Filter,Oil,Filter,Tranny,and rear end fluid change.

Brakes were just done including a fluid flush I am thinking new shocks as the originals have developed a bounce.

I figure that with also give me a chance to install a set of drop springs as well to compliment the C6 wheels.

What other maintenance would you suggest based on mileage?

If you still have the original coolant in there, that's rated up to 5 years (i.e 2007), so you would need to change that too.

Yep, sounds like the only thing you forgot was the coolant if it has been awhile since that was changed. Otherwise your list looks pretty good.

If it aint broke... don't wait until it is

things to replace are fluids (coolant, steering, oil, trans, rear diff, blinker)
filters (air, oil, trans [A4], fuel)
misc (wipers, any worn bushings, muffler bearings)
