Hey folks.
I just purchased a 1995 Buick LeSabre (V-6, 3800) with about 90,000 miles on it. I am very very happy with it and I am interested in opinions on how I can make it last and perform well for me thru preventive maintenance. Here is what I have done so far:
New front brake pads and rotars
4 wheel alignment
Oil change/Fluid checks (10W-30)
*will probably use a higher mileage 10w-30 in Future
Chassis lube
Suspension, strut and shock inspection (twice)
So far everything checks out and it is running great. I have a few little things but I will start seperate threads on those, I'm just wondering right now about preventive measures.
Things I'm thinking about doing.
Cooling system drain, flush
Plugs, wires
Air filter
PCV valve
Transmission drain.
I have one of the books that covers everything and I read it alot but I'm pretty clueless about cars for the most part. I want to learn as much as I can though, I have a plan for this car. I want it to get better as it gets older. I plan to drive it well into 250,000 mile range.
