My car just reached 75K, should I do anything special?

Question

I live in Arizona and I am original owner of 2008 Kia Spectra 4DR on it. It is 2.0L 4Cyl manual transmission. I have just reached 75K and I was wondering if there is any preventative maintenance that would be recommended. I change oil and filter every 3-5K, keep an eye on breaks, change intake and cabin filters, and keep all liquid levels in check, tire treads, rotation and alignments.

Is coolant or transmission flush recommended? I have no overheating issues or manual shifting issues.

Thanks

Answer 1

You seem to be doing all the right things . Don't fool with anything else. Today's Transmissions are sealed so as not to be messed with . Coolant and Tranny flushes are simply money making scare tactics . If you insist , then change the stale air in your tires as well. I put several kids thru college with customers like yourself .

Answer 2

Yes, you are getting close to wanting to change your timing belt. You should also have your drive belt inspected as well. Fresh coolant would be a good idea if you have not replaced that as well. The cooling system and heater hoses should be checked closely at the time of coolant replacement.

Answer 3

Yes you need to change the timing belt.If it breaks while the engines running,valves and pistons will collide and cause a lot of internal damage
