New GTP owner, maintenance ?'s

**ls1freek** · 04-03-2011

I just bought me an 05 GTP CompG, it has 80k on the clock and I was wondering what all I should maintenance on it? I know some things but not sure on some others...

-Supercharger oil?
-Spark plugs? (not sure how many miles they go on a SC'd engine)
-Belts? They dont look cracked...
-Air filter is K&N and looks good..
-Tranny fluid I doubt has ever been changed, it's starting to look a little on the darker side of red...
-We all know about engine oil.. LOL

Anything I'm missing?

Trans pan drop and Filter needs done forsure. These trannys are glass and you need to keep the fluid fresh. Might want to consider doing a cooling system flush as I bet the orginial dexcool is still in it.

How many miles should you go between oil changes in the supercharger?

30K is a good number.

Don't ask where it came from, I dont know.

Replace plugs with new AC delco's. Possibly new wires, they like to break after being there for 6+ years.

Get the tranny filter from the dealer, then install with dex VI.

50K miles, Manual says 30K miles. beware the Chit stinks

manual says CHECK and top up every 30K

ANd the coolant flush, that is absolutely necessary after 6 years.

Some people sar to replace dexcool with the green stuff? Or no?

**matt5112** · 04-03-2011

They do, but theres no point, as long as you're keeping up on your fluid levels and changing the fluid 3 years or so you'll be fine.

**01gpgt01** · 04-03-2011

Dex is fine if you keep up with the changes

Ok, back on the plugs question...
If TR55's are equivalent to stock heat, I should probably go TR6 then huh? My plans are possibly 3.5-3.6 pulley, tune, and intake.
