possible addition to the Techinfo section
I was just searching Techinfo and the forum for a maintenance timeline and I can't find one. I think it would be very useful if we had a list that outlined what maintenance should be done at 25k miles, 50k miles, 100k+ miles, etc. I don't want to let anything slip with this car like I did the last one.

That is definately a good point, but that maintenance schedule seems rather vague (never mentions things like the 02 sensor). I would like to use that as a base for the list, but add the things that the manual doesn't mention (possibly because they don't want to advertise common problems with their cars). I would like to be able to draw on the experience of the people here to compile an in depth list that covers everything concievable.

Of maybe something with that as well like what i posted at MNBC. When you buy a used car at any decent mileage, do the plugs, wires, o2, air filter, fuel filter, change oil, STP, etc.

I know my opinions are different than my book. I'm a little more likely to spoil my car than GM.
I know for the Eatons, our suggestions and experience very much differ from GM or Eaton or Magnusson, just for 'insurance' reasons. We also know the reality of stock plug wires and O2 sensors, that GM would never admit.
Should we make an effort as a club to make a 'real world' maintenance schedule?
