Maintenance help needed
SE Level Member
01-16-2020
I am driving the 04' 3.8L V6 Grand Prix (not supercharged) that my wife got as her first car when she was 16. It has about 117,000 miles on it and still looks pretty sharp if you ignore the rust behind the front wheel wells.
My question is what maintenance do I want to complete to ensure this beauty stays in our garage and on the road?
The AC doesn't work (doesn't bother me) and the car idles hot in the summer (Chicagoland). We regularly change the oil and the brakes. I replaced the spark plugs and wiring, cleaned the throttle body and replaced the coolant elbows. I flushed/changed the engine coolant a couple years ago. We keep quality tires on her as well. Any suggestions are much appreciated!
Thank you!

your on the right path already. just fix what breaks as needed. brake fluid flush cant hurt.
as far as hot idle. thats pretty normal. they will hit up to 220 as thats the temp the fans go to high speed.
