Hi everyone,
Just found this forum. My new wife has a 2000 Taurus with the Duratec engine. She has 95,000 miles on it and the only maintenance that has ever been done is regular oil changes, 1 engine air filter change at 40K miles, brake pads, battery, and tires. Car has been problem free.
I know it is long overdue for:
Transmission fluid change
Radiator Flush
Brake Fluid Change
Spark Plugs
Engine Air Filter
Cabin Air Filter
Fuel Filter?
Am I missing anything else? We'd like to get at least another 50K miles out of the car and now that the car is my responsibility I will try to take much better care of it.
I called my local Ford dealer and they suggested I have the 30,000 maintenance service performed and the plugs changed. $520. I'm not sure exactly what the 30,000 maintenance covers.
Any help/suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks.
