so car (04gtp) turned 75K the other day.ive done oil changes every 3-4500 miles since i got it with 45K on it. did trans oil and filter and fuel filter at 60K...man was the trans fluid burnt looking too! other than that ive not done alot ,of course brakes and what not...ive gotten a new job so im driving it everyday now,around 15 miles total. what you think i should consider doing next? thanks!
 


Spark plugs and intake gaskets if they have never been done.

2004 still used the black plastic intake gaskets and they tend to fail around 100k miles, but you also have 11+ years on them if original and thats a cause of concern too.

Factory Iridium plugs are only made to last 70-100k in most cases, I think 100k is a tad far.
 
yes they are original.i actually looked under there last weekend,im shocked by how "dry" the compartment is. no oil,antifreeze seepage..nothing. until i post this im sure. ill look around for plug recommendations on the site. probably outta do wires too?
 
It's good that they arent leaking out the outside, but it's hard to say if the factory dexcool coolant has ate any of the inside of the gasket material yet.

41-101 spark plugs are the ones to buy, AC Delco Iridiums aka factory plug and best for these cars.
