    hey guys. New member here from Michigan. I'm the proud new owner of a 2003 grand prix gtp. Scooped it up earlier this week as a replacement for my 97 Grand Am which seems to be on its last legs. car is a limited edition with 60,000 miles on it. single owner, clean title. I've been prowling around various Grand Prix and W body forms the last few days and it seems like this one gets the most traffic so I joined up. at 60,000 miles it seems to me like this car is due for a good tune up. Runs great but I need this car to last a long time. I'm looking to change my engine oil, supercharger oil, flush my coolant and switch over to yellow Prestone, spark plugs, and wires. I have a couple tech questions that I'll follow up with on other posts in appropriate sections. Great to be here!

    Wouldn't be a bad idea to throw a pan drop with new trans fluid and a filter too while you are doing some maintenance.

    Nope. Car came from Lansing. Before that it was out of state...not sure exactly where. Frame rails are in excellent shape...so it's gotta be southern or never driven in the winter.

    I used to know of a place called Michigan. I miss it in the summer, not so much in the winter.
