Can anybody give me advice on regulr maintenance for my '07 Monte? The owner's manual isn't very helpful. I have 50,000 miles on it and the manual says to inspect fuel system and exhaust system, replace engine air filter, and service transmission. Are there other things I should do?
Have you flushed the coolant system yet?
Run a bottle of seafoam through the gas-tank (good injector cleaner).
I don't believe you have a fuel filter accessible in that car.
Exhaust system check, just means to make sure nothing is rusting out basically.
Definitely change air filter.
You should change your cabin air filter too.
Check and replace your serpentine belt.
Check your transmission fluid, it should be PINK, not red, not brown, not black. Might be worth it to get the fluid and filter changed.
Check your brake fluid reservoir and top off fluid if needed.

OMG Rick I cant believe you would ask that. It upset's me that people cant search....... Just messing with you. I looked on line and it says every 36000 to 48000 miles. I just replace mine when it breaks. I had an S10 and someone told me the belt needed replacing so I bought a new one but decided to wait until the current one broke first to replace it. I had that truck 13 years and never used the new belt

I can just imagine what kind of things you two crazy bikers will be getting in to. Word on the street is that when former bikers get together in the Arizona desert everybody in town hides. Are they talking about you and Wes?
Thanks Chibi and everybody who gave me maintenance advice. I think the reason we older people don't go immediately to the Web is that it's still new to us. After ten more years of using computers, I might learn about searching first when I have questions. Thanks Space for your helpful links.
