Maintenance. What do you guys do?
Just like it says, what do you guys do for maintenance, and how often? Like for the A4 guys, how often do you service the tranny? which fluids do you change and how often, what preventative measures do you use? any prefered brands, i know mobil 1 5w 30 is an obvious one, but what about the other fluids. I think this may be alot of help to others too, if you could give me your input it would greatly be appreciated. thanks

I do regular maintenance oil change, coolant flush, tranny flush, I use valvoline oil. Tranny flush 50,000 but when I get a drainable pan I will do a flush every year. Engine oil flushed out every 3000 miles. Coolant every 2 years. Cheveron premium gas. A hot chick seating passenger every other day.

Trans oil/filter change about every 25K.
Oil/filter about every 4K, Mobil 1 10W30, AC PF59 long filter.
Differential oil change about every 25K or so.
NGK TR55 plugs every 20-25K.
GM top end cleaner when I get significant knock retard (twice so far).
Coolant change twice so far, coming up again soon w/new rad hoses.
That's all the routine stuff I can think of right now.
