I'm just about to hit 70,000 miles on my cav. What should I get done? I'm talking beyond oil changes, tire rotation and air filter cleanings
Here is what I have planned
Seafoam
fuel injector cleaner
fuel filter
serpentine belt
radiator flush
Should I change the spark plugs? If so, what brand would be recommended for an ecotec with almost all bolt-ons (no boost or N2O)
Am I missing anything?

Well... Yeah, I'm asking.
My last two cars were junkers so I never did general preventive or scheduled maintenance. I have a big road trip planned for next year and I want to have everything done before hand. I'm sure I could've searched google, but I figured you guys would have more specifics. As in, what needs to be greased and where. I'd rather not miss something and have some sort of break down on my way to FL

well, if your serp. belt looks overly warn then change it but if not dont worry about it. they fun like 20 bucks
throw some injector cleaner in just for good measure.
i always change the fuel filter every 50 thousand miles
if you havent flushed the car since youve had it then it is better to do so.
with the plug might aswell stay stock if you dont have many mods, cant go wrong with them if your not pushing alot of power. the ones withe four prong are crap, same spark as stocks.
ok my bad,yeah what linx said,and couldn't hurt to do a little trans. maintenance and try some NGK Irridiums for
plugs

In the next month I will be doing a fidanza flywheel and a spec stage 2 clutch. I think I'll get those irridiums tho, might as well.
The belt has started squealing when cold and at low rpms, so instead of trying to put some belt grip I'm just gonna replace it. Better safe than sorry, and really, it's only like, $15.
