How often are you doing maintenance?

Joey does it for a pretty fair price out of his shop in South SF. Just bring your own fluids and the labor is uber cheap.
I had the oil in my S changed every 3-3500 miles and had Tranny, Diff, Brake, Coolant, MTF changed at 22,000 miles and it seemed like the right time imo.. then again I was way over cautious with the S and changed a lot of fluids before I needed to. Talk about pampering.. Whether you do it at 15k, 12k, 20k or whatever, I believe it's still before the manual suggests. Just pick whichever is easier for you to remember and stick to that

I'm looking to get the Amsoil 75W-110, but I'm looking at hardtopguy.com and it's about $30. On Amsoil's site, it's about $14.00. Does hardtopguy sell 2 quarts of this stuff at once? Or are they just charging a lot more? Also, anyone order the pump along with the fluid on hardtopguy? If so, is it worth it?
Sorry if I'm taking over this thread.

You're going to want a pump as it'd be extremely hard (impossible?) as it'd require some serious gymnastics without it. Although you should be able to get one locally easily, unless you're just ordering from hardtopguy for ease. Also his is $19 per qt, and make sure you get the drain/fill washers (it's an option at the bottom, or get them from your local dealership).

ok, thanks. I'm not sure what I was looking at, but I saw a price of almost $30 last night. (Nm, I just noticed the price changes automatically reflecting whether or not I want the pump/diff washer.)
I was actually wondering if it was maybe a better pump, or more "Specially Designed" pump as the site states. But I ordered it anyway.
