Sorry for being so basic with my question.
I am a mechanic, i just bought this car recently, and the service records arent with the vehicle. Im not so sure what has been done to this car in the past, besides oil changes and just the basic stuff. What my questions are what else should be done. Besides, Engine Oil, Tranny Fluid, Coolant, tires, brakes. Im a mechanic and can do most of this stuff myself, its just a matter of time. I drive 140 miles 5 days a week and the car runs fine, this engine is a champ.
Just, i personally think the engine is running hot, and im not so sure if the temp gauge is reading properly, so that one for sure. But at 280,000 miles im guessing a good amount should go into this, like...a full tune up? Valve alignments? Im use to working on older, more simpler engines so alot of this stuff ill just have done, cause after being a mechanic for 6years i dont want to wrench on my off time either. <_<
