My 50k mile r52 jcw 2007 didnt come with the manual.. can someone tell me what work should be done beyond the service II? I dont know any history on the car so I have to assume nothing was done and take care of all.

Im assuming this is all laid out in a post somewhere here, but I cant find it.

Im planning on replacing all cabin and oil filters, engine oil & drain plug, spark plugs, tranny fluid, coolant, full brake fluid flush... anything else? Does the top need maintenence TLC?

 

Best care for the top is either 303 or RaggTopp. Also, keep you eye out for a wind deflector. They show up on the forum in the FS column occasionally.
I'll copy and paste my schedule. Others will vary and some will scoff, but knowing these things are taken care of regularly helps me enjoy driving beyond the reach of immediate help. Oh, and always remember, topless motoring is motoring at it's best

Oil/filter/rotate tires every 5K
Brake Fluid every 30K
Coolant every 30K
PCV vent valve every 30K
PS Fluid flush every 30K
Fuel Filter Change every 50K
Plugs every 40K
Serpentine belt every 40K
BG-44K every 6 mo.

 

Here is the PDF owners manual for your car. You can just save it on your computer and access it whenever you need to.

Hope this helps you out!

 

I looked in there, but it doesnt list much, barely says use 5w30 and not even how many quarts (4.7 I think it is).. For service intervals, it says: "Oil change intervals, refer to Service and Warranty Information Booklet for US"

 

My memory isn't working the best but it seems to me there is a regular oil change, service I (every ~30k), and service II (60k). Then there is coolant and spark plugs at 100k. I'll have to see if I can find at each.

They are called inspection one and two instead of service.

 

You should change oil at 15K miles, as the oil is still good, but acids/carbon build up in your oil. Replace filter every time you replace oil.
