Default ls4 Maintenance Schedule

My car did not come with a manual and I'd like to not have to rely on the dealer to tell me what my maintenance schedule is. Can anyone break it down for me? There's 20k on my GXP now and all I've done is a 4-wheel alignment, new tires all around (Kumho), and a few oil changes.

I think the tranny flush/filter is recommended by people on here at 25k.

Grandman here you go:

Look on this page, select year from drop down, find GrandPrix and either open or save it for future use!

What does this mean? (Full-floating pistons)

Most engines are assembled with the piston wrist pins fixed either by retainers at the ends and /or pressed into the connecting rod small end. In this manner the piston is the pivot point and the wrist pin stays still always.
In the full floating method (FAR SUPERIOR) the wrist pin is free to float from side to side and so is the connecting rod, creating less stress on everything and less friction.
