Bought my 2013 3.8L brand new in 2014. It's been a great car. I love it. No repairs to date other than a front-end alignment of some kind due to uneven tire wear.
It's got about 33k miles on it. Barely driven in the past 10 months due to the pandemic! (No, I'm not a grandma and when I do drive I tend to drive fairly aggressive). Short trips to grocery store, etc.
All I've ever done is oil changes at 3k miles (based on miles rather than date). Tire rotations. Cabin filter replacement. A couple engine air filter replacement.
I refused all things my dealer pushed on me like trying to charge me $100 to "clean" brake rotors (wtf?!).
I general follow precisely what the owners manual says, but I also feel that some modifications may be in order due to low mileage.
I'm coming up on 7 years old and 36k miles. Anything you all recommend to make sure I don't miss? Unless I wreck, I plan on driving another 4 years and then passing it to my to-be-16-year old.
Looks like I should replace fuel filter.
Coolant flush seems not to be recommended for a loooonnnng time. (dealer tried to push that on me at 20k miles).
Differential oil inspect/replace??
