So i am about to hit 100k and i was wondering how much it will cost to get the tune up or whatever im supposed to do at 100k. Also, if it is even THAT important that i do anything at all. thanks ... |  |  | | 11-12-2005, 03:04 AM | #2 | | Senior Member Join Date: Sep 2004 Location: Mt. Laurel, NJ Posts: 390 |
i think oxygen sensors due at 100 k thats what my mechanic said but some people dont change them till they go bad. i got 95, and i do my maintenance randomly but at 80 k about 2 years ago car got done alotta stuff. i said change the fuel filter, spark plugs, air filter, coolant, diff fluid, tranny fluid if u feel slipping in ur tranny, brake fluid, check the brake pads. __________________

i just remembered, radiator hoses are due every 4 years or 60,000 miles, also belts. my camshaft position sensor went bed at about 90k that costed me 100 for the sensor and i did the labor, but it takes aobut couple of hours. __________________

It's all just gradual maintenance for wear. When I hit 100k, I did a more invasive inspection, got the car up on a lift, wobbled joints, rotated tires, checked all sorts of things physically that I normally just check with my eyeballs. Pulled some panels off to look for rust, and cleaned areas I usually don't give a crap about. I then also had my mechanic look things over for a second opinion. __________________
