Nothing. The mileage intervals for major services to the ITR are 15K miles, 30K, 45K, 60K, etc. There is no "50,000 mile tune-up".

Have you bothered to look at the maintenance schedule in your owner's manual?

 

no i don't have a manual.....what is needed for 45,000 then?

Buying an owner's manual would be the first thing you should do. You can buy one here. If you plan to work on your car yourself, you can (and should) get a service manual from the same place. The maintenance schedule appears in both manuals.

 

thanks...mine is in the mail

cool trade cars plus bj's everyday for life

 

you guys are so useful, 10 posts deep and the best advice is "get a manual", and "there's no 50k service". Maybe you wanna tell him what the 45k and 60k says so he has some sort of idea?

 

i'm a little passed 50k and i was thinking doing all my fluids and get a new timing belt to be safe.

Different fluids (engine oil, brake fluid, coolant, transmission fluid) get changed at different intervals; each one depends on the interval as well as on when you last had it changed.

exactly. i guess for me, i change the coolant, transmission fluid, and brake fluid around every 25k-30k. also, at the same interval i get my valve adjustment done.

 

Whether if these are the official parts that need to be replaced or not, I would change out the:

1) distributor cap
2) distributor rotor
3) change all fluids: oil, water, transmission, brake fluid
4) use a cleaner that cleans the intake manifold, injectors and combustion chamber, typically it is a 3 step process
5) fuel filter
6) plugs
7) check your drive belts for fraying or cracking
8) air filter

Hope this helps.
