75K Maintenance?

Hey Guys, my car is nearing 75K and so i was wondering what i should get done as far as maintenance. I know you guys all say to do as much as possible on your own to save money, but i cant so i have to pay to get it done.

is it better to just save money and get it done at any auto mechanic or is it worth it to get it done at the dealership?

Also, what things should i get done since this is really my first maintenance check up and oil change? i got the car at 72K. Thanks for your help.

According to the owner's manual, the required maintenance at 75K only includes changing the engine oil and filter plus replacing the engine coolant.

You can do these with ease.



FYI: 60K would have been the previous scheduled maintenance period. For that, your CL should of had:

Engine oil and filter replaced

Replaced air filter

Valves inspected

Spark plugs replaced

Idle speed and belts checked

Distributor cap, rotor, and ignition wires checked



BTW: HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!

Along with the extended emissions warranty, isn't there a free tune-up after 75k. I know my 97 Civic will receive a free tune-up after this mileage due to something with the emissions.
