service on 99 SS
service on 99 SS
I have a Orange 99 SS with white top and white leather. I have 90k on the car and have changed the oil every 3,000 miles. I have not done other service except a couple of minor items and a brake job. I am going to keep the car because it is still tight however can anyone tell me what services I need to have done to insure future reliability? Thanks for your insight.

I'll second the above. Some of that is pretty **** (you could probably get away without ever flushing your brake fluid), and I think GM's recommended transmission fluid change interval is 75,000 miles, but other than that, looks good.
I'd plan on doing the fuel filter between 15-30k intervals. It's not difficult to replace, and keeping a clean filter on will possibly add some life to your fuel pump. Replacing your fuel pump is NOT cheap so this is like cheap insurance... that and never running the car super low on gas (which allows the pump to overheat).
