50k Service....what to do?

Kingcater · September 17th, 2007, 06:38 PM

I bought a 2000 Mustang GT recently with 50k on it. I forget what the recommended service is and I don't have a service manual. Can you please help me out here..... what brand items would you recommend, I know I should probably atleast change the plugs and fuel filter

everyone will have personal preference for brands.....

Use a good quality synthetic oil - I use Ford Motocraft 5w20
Same applies to oil filter

Fuel filter for sure -- quick and easy to replace... and CHEAP

Plugs - again, personal preference... im running NGK's

does it have any type of CAI? if not, i HIGHLY recommend a JLT... If its stock and you wouldl ike to keep it that way for a while... just replace the air filter

I would check the wear on the brake pads as well... never hurts

I would also consider taking it for a complete fuel system treatment, or if you prefer to try the Seafoam method.... that would work too

check your belts for signs of wear and tear

thats all i can think of at the moment, im sure someone will give you some more ideas

could change the trans fluid, gear oil, flush the rad, clean the iat sensor. if you want to be ambisious you could check your brakes ,front end and u-joints. i usally do every now and then.

I bough the car at the dealership that I work for. I had them put on new brake pads, resurface the rotors, oil change and inspection. Now I want to do the little stuff they might have missed.....

don't forget to grease your hinges. nobody likes droopy doors

good oil change, trans serives ( man. or auto), diff service, brake check, and run some BG 44K through it.
