60 k service question

60 k service question

Postby socalisolara » Mon Apr 03, 2006 2:27 am

i was wondering how hard is to do 60 k service on my own? i already had the tranny flushed not to long ago and air filter replaced. So is the spark plug only thing i have to replace? if so, what kind do i use?

I think that it's Plugs, Fuel Filter, Air Filter, PCV that are automatically replaced.

Fuel cap gasket, radiator cap, accessory belts, coolant, hoses, plugwires, should be checked and replaced as necessary. I would also check all you other fluids and replace them as necessary.

Running a quick vacuum test on the motor is good to get a quick picture of its overall health. Personally, I like to run compression test, since I am taking the plugs out, but I am pretty anal retentive and like to have a lot of advanced warning for potential problems. Cleaning the intake should also be done. I think you're supposed to adjust the valve clearances every 60k on the FE motors also, but this is not really something that most people want to get into, as it's a pain on a 4 cylinder, and even more difficult on a 6.

As for plugs, what does your user’s manual say? There should be a preferred plug, or two, listed with their recommended gapping. I believe it's an NGK, or Denso, 2 electrode platinum plug that is recommended. For the other parts, use OEM (expensive), or good quality aftermarket (like what you get at Advance or Napa) parts.

Yeah, I don't have time to post the information right now on doing that, but it's in the Haynes Manual, section 32 of chapter 1.

Valve check/adjustment looks way too hard to DIY.

Has anyone here with more than 60k ever had this done to the engine? This sounds expensive and labor-intensive.

I did it on my car a 4-cyl @ 120K maintenance. It's too hard for DIY IMHO. We did some of this in my engine rebuild / principles classes, so I feel ok with doing it, but wouldn't recommend it to others.

If you do need to replace your spark plugs get some IK20's Denso. They're great.
