ive read a few threads in the past but i totally forgot what they said since its been more than half a year...

a few questions...

1)do anyone of you still use BG 44k or you can just use some other brand name fuel injector cleaner?

2)i guess i have to replace my auto transmission fluid, how many quarts should i buy and how many quarts do i put in?

3) what else besides those two and coolant flush do i have to replace.

(* note i cleaned my in cabin filter which is good for another 5000 miles i hope, changed wiper blades with PIAAs,and changed my oil.)

is there anything else im missing.

any help is appreciated, i couldnt find this in the stickies

1. I used it once and to me a total waste of money... use Seafoam instead
2. Look at my sig for a total flush step by step.
3. Power Steeering fluid.. same as tranny ATF
4. Brake fluid.... should be replaced.....
5. Wiper fluid... j/k

Good luck

air filter.....maybe check the spark plugs. I actually saved Lontars writeup for the AT fluid flush a few weeks ago but havent done that yet. I didnt know it was that important to do the same with the power steering and brake fluid,guess i'll get on thast eventually

No problem....i just bought fuel injector cleaner last week and it didnt do ish. If you get that Sea Foam, or go a different route that works, PM me or post in this thread. If the sea foam product works ill get some. Bad enough i cant change my fuel filter, I'd at least like to have the fuel injectors clean

owners manual advises you to wait too long (in my opinion) to check/replace many different things. As far as a listing of different things to be done, manual does list mostly everything, but i dont like the schedule it advises you to follow
