Maintenance Advice
Need some advice on a few projects I am planning/doing.....
First - It is a 1998 base model with 33K miles. It isn't going to be driven much. It is in the garage for the winter now, so I have plenty of time to do projects.
1- Spark plug change. I just did the plugs yesterday. Unfortunately, I should have read some of the threads about anti-seize first. I did put it on all of the plugs. The car is still up on jack stands for other projects. Should I pull the plugs back out a clean off the anti-seize the best I can, or just leave it? I am planning to change the plugs every other year (Driving 3-5K year).
2 - Brake pads/flushing - Next I am going to bleed the brake fluid. The pads look to be OK, but hard to really tell without taking them out. (How do you measure them?). Since I am already going to bleed brakes, should I just replace the pads while I am at it? What is a good source for brake fluid, and how much will I need to do a flush?
3 - Any other things I should do while I am in there? Oil and various filters have already been done. Maybe serpentine belt?
Any advice would be great!
