Time for new plugs and ???

My '11 LT2 RS has just hit 100K and it's time to get the plugs changed. Any recommendations on other things that should be replaced? All stock except for a K&N Filter.

100k mile recommendations for most manufacturers:

Spark plugs
Trans fluid flush (or fluid change if your M6)
Coolant flush
Rear differential flush
Brake fluid system flush
Power Steering fluid flush
Check all belts and hoses for cracking or tears, replace if needed.

This is a general rule of thumb for almost every vehicle at 100k.

Might also consider new plug wires while you're at it; at 100K I always replace them as well mainly just for piece of mind.

Thanks, just what I was thinking, just doing a little sound boarding.

Hoses and belts get replaced on my vehicles around that mileage. I also flush the cooling system before replacing hoses.

I put a set of E3 Diamond Fire Spark plugs in with a set of MSD wires, replace the belts and hoses, if it an auto trans, the filter and flush the fluid with new fluid. You may want to even consider replacing the coils with a nice set of MSD coils.

The V6 still does not have plug wires. It's coil on plug. Also only has 1 belt. That said, Lethal2SS pretty much hit the nail on the head.


Might be worth doing an upper induction cleaning if you don't have a catch can though is the only thing I could add.

To clarify what I have posted before. If running an auto and the tranny has never been flushed you dont want to start now. Drop the pan, change the filter and replace the fluid. Flushing an auto can just move crap into places you dont want it.
