My '05 Coupe currently has 9,700 miles on it. I've changed the oil regularly, and the car runs excellent. When should I consider a tune-up?

The plugs are rated up to 100k on miles. If you are keeping it stock, I wouldn't touch it until you see something changing, like idle, fuel mileage, performance, etc. Just service and maintaining it, such air filters, battery, etc...

 

That car is practically fit for the scrap yard, I'll give you a fair price for it sight unseen.

Look at the owners manual and look at the parts that should be oiled and greased, hinges, latches etc. everyone forgets them, then they complain when the door creaks. An ounce of maintenance is worth a pound of cure.

 

180, you are wise beyond your 180 years...

 

Lol. It's tough when you have low mileage Crossfires. The reference points come few and far between due to all the gtg's. Seriously, you are 100% correct. Follow the owner's manual and be diligent...and thankful these aren't high-strung (cough...any high end Italian piece...cough).

 

So you have change the oil once already?

 

I just hit 6,400 miles on my coupe, woohoo! I think half those mile were racked up in one month. Changed the oil myself this summer.

 

owner's manual.....too many warnings to read....I threw it back in the glove box...owner's manual...

 

Ah yes, but he doesn't look a day over 150!
