Hey Guys/Gals

I recently bought a 93 3000GT SL in great shape. The car has 66K miles. The previous owner bought it with 32K miles and did not replace the timing belt.

I want to do preventative maintenance before driving the car. I have read on this forum and others to replace the following at 60K: timing belt/tensioner; water pump; oil pump, all fluids and drive belts.

I would appreciate advice on what maintenance to do at this mileage point; what fluids to replace (weights and brands); what shop manual to buy; and where to get parts at the good prices.

My last thread about this was all but ignored...a reply from someone with some knowledge/experience would be much appreciated...let's see what you guys/gals got...

Thanks...
Regards

I would definitely not attempt to do the 60M mile myself. If you do anything wrong, you will have to go through the whole experience again. I've done this service myself on a mazda, but only because I had to replace the head gasket. Take it to a dealer or other qualified mechanic and let him worry about fixing it if he does something wrong. Just make sure they use a newer synthetic fluid in the tranny.

Thanks Gary. I have a great mechanic/friend who has his own business. I'll have him do the service.

Can you recommend fluids...weight and brands?

Would you do anything else in addition to what I listed in my initial post??

Thanks again. Have a good weekend...

Regards
Al
