Any Service Suggestions? 2001 Cavalier
#1
![Default](/forum/images/icons/icon1.gif)
Hello,
May daughter recently acquired her first car, a 2001 Cavalier. It is a very basic car down to the hand crank windows & factory cassette player. Since I am the primary wrench, I have a couple of questions.
82,000 miles, automatic transmission. No known service history except the selling dealer had a new serpentine belt installed.
I want to do a major service on it. I plan on changing the oil & filter, air filter, spark plugs. That's pretty basic. Are there any other items I should address? I would also like to drop the transaxle pan & change the fluid. I would also like to change the coolant.
The car seems pretty basic, just wondering if there are any 'gotchas' to look out for doing a major service? No owner's manual, unfortunately, & I have a Haynes manual on order.
This seems like a good group, thanks!
