Is there some info on here about the "optimal" maintenance schedule for a C5.. (other than what's listed in the manual) I have a 2000, and I've been keeping it in good shape, recently had brakes redone, new belt, etc.. wondering about if it needs a tune-up or changing of differential fluid (it's a 6speed manual).. (over 70k miles)..

I remember seeing on here a list of common problems also, stuff like the column lock, brake rotor warp, battery leaks, etc... Anyone know the link to that? Can't find it..

Thanks in advance!!! You guys on here ROCK!

The plugs are said to be good for 100,000 miles, although I have heard that sometimes the "pucks" are gone by the time the plugs are removed. I say that if your car is running well, don't worry about the plugs. Some people say that brake fluid doesn't need changing, but I disagree. Every 5 years for brake fluid, coolant, and maybe even power steering fluid is what I intend to have done (next month) and my C5 has less than 25,000 miles on it.

 

My car has a little over 25K miles on it and I also plan to have all my fluids changed pretty soon. I figure it doesn't hurt and you get the peace of mind that everything is fresh.

 

....on a 98! Holy cow - get out and DRIVE that baby! And here I thought I didn't put enough miles on my C5!
