My Balt is the nicest car that I have owned and I was wondering what I should do for maintenance since it just rolled over 100k miles. I just dont want it to break down anytime soon. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I traded mine in :rofl:

Seriously though, there's a maint schedule in your owners manual, if there's anything on that list you haven't done already it's probably time.

Hi My_06_Balt,

Please refer to your Owner's Manual for Maintenance Schedule for your vehicle. On pg. 6-6 it recommends the additional services that you should have done at 100,000, see below.

Inspect fuel system for damage or leaks.
Inspect exhaust system for loose or damaged components.
Replace engine air cleaner filter. See Engine Air Cleaner/Filter on page 5-21.
Change automatic transaxle fluid and filter (severe service only).
See footnote (h). Replace spark plugs. An Emission Control Service.

Hope this helps.

because these cars aren't that great to an avid car enthusiast. as vanessa said, do those and along with regular scheduled maintenance, you'll be good
