THERE is your maintenance info.

Change the oil and filter every 5,000 miles.

Check your tire pressure once a month and inflate to the psi listed in the door jam sticker.

Change your brake fluid every two years.

Change your coolant every five years.

Put silicone on all your rubber parts once a year.

Clean out your drain holes every year.

Don’t fold the top under 40 degrees.

Let the engine warm up until it drops to a slow idle and then gently start driving.

After a hard run, let her idle for a minute before shut off.

Squirt some dry Teflon into the key slots once a year.

Stop worrying and just drive. It’s just a car.


Good luck.
OK, you win. I give up. OBVIOUSLY I meant repair. Sure, we can argue over the use of the words maintenance vs. repair, however I believe everyone else got that. You probably did too. Some people just like to argue. Good bye. You made your point I guess, whatever it is.

I've got no dog in this fight.... but if you asked if I understood "repair" instead of maintenance? Nope. I understood what you WROTE:

Having said that, it seems you're looking for something rather specific, but you're asking a more generic question, and then getting upset about the responses you get not being specific enough.
Why don't you ask us what you're really trying to find out?
