lute (05/06/83)
I have a a 1981 Mazda GLC Wagon that will turn 2 years old this month. Since I changed jobs last July, I am putting on 500+ miles per week (2200m/mo) on my car. I recently turned 35,000 miles (this week). In Nov. I had the radiator flushed (by a mechanic) and prepped for the winter. The last tune-up was in Sept. at 20,000 mi. I had both the alternator and air pump fan belts changed in March. I had the brakes checked at 25K and last week at 35K (still in perfect condition, and I had my mechanic and Midas check them). I had the oil and filter changed last week (as I do every 3,000 miles). And I intend to have the ball joints greased, and the brake fluid replaced in another 2 or three weeks. Is there anything I've missed? I'd like to keep this car in tip-top condition until 1985 or 90,000 miles (whichever comes first). Any suggestions to help me reach this goal would be appreciated.
