Most of us replace the engine at 50,000

Congratulations! this car is such a fun purchase. If you dont have..or hav'nt checked your owners manual, you can search this site for crossfire manuals, and will bring up a variety to choose from as some nice people posted them for us to use These will give you all the info you should need. I almost bought some repair manuals off of E-bay, until a member pointed this out....so the money i saved went to a car cover

Make sure it has fresh Mobil1 0W-40. Suggest air filters and cabin filter. That's about it until 100k miles. You may want to rotate tires side to side periodically, depending upon how much you drive. And check out Mike-in-Orange posts under detailing and get to work.

I have always flushed the cooling system of every thing I drive at 60,000 to 75,000 miles.

I did this car at 69,000.

Also, I'm a believer in automatic transmission fluid and filter changes every 50,000.


You might consider a Steering Stabilizer ($25-$30 and 1/ hour of your time) every so often (I do mine annually before the Dragon - ok, sometimes twice a year). They go slowly and soon, you don't know WHAT is wrong, but you know the car just doesn't feel right.


ALSO, DO THE STICKY IGNITION MODIFICATION NOW. I'm warning you, mine locked up about 6 weeks after I drove it home at a gas station.... messed up my Saturday and cost me $90 to have it towed home!
