After how many thousand miles for these replacements on a 3.1

O2 Sensor?
Fuel Filter?
Dist Cap/Rotor?
Rear Axle Oil?


Thanks and sorry,I dont have a manual

I'm going to get valve cover and intake manifold gaskets replaced soon and I might just ask them to do a few other things in the process.

 

fuel filter is 12000 miles or once a year, same with cap and rotor

rear axle is something you don't even really need to do, i mean its not gonna hurt but it shouldn't be bad, pull the drain plug and stick your finger in if it looks good leave it alone.

o2 sensor, for the price you might as well do it now and not really worry about it for a few years atleast

 

30,000miles for the o2 sensor, according to the book.

 

Thanks for the info..Ill just do fuel filter and cap/rotor and hold off on the rear axle and o2 sensor.

Would an actual power loss be noticed with an old fuel filter and cap/rotor?

 

yes, a corroded cap and rotor and a partially clogged fuel filter can cause a car not to run well if at all, ad cause long cranking starts

 

rear diff fluid should be 12,000 to 15,000 miles. its just like any other oil, it breaks down and gets dirty. all fluids eventually need to be changed.

 

Just passed a 20,000 mile mark.Can someone please list what needs to be done.I did plugs/wires/pvc/air filter and flushed radiator myself a few thousand miles ago.

 

trans will need to be done sometime between now and 30,000. depends on how it looks and how you drive it. power steering flush and brake fluid flush if you can or know a place that does it. theyre kinda pricey but theyre a good thing to do. especially the brake fluid flush. how does your belt look too? id say check all of them and see how they look. i usually do my fluids every 20,000 to 25,000 miles, except oil, lol.

 

Yeah,I forgot to mention those things...Brake fluid,transmission fluid and power steering fluids were flushed about 5 thousand miles ago.Belt was replaced when I bolted on my exhaust about 1,000 miles ago.
