30,000 mile maintenance
Time for MY01 30K maintenance
Besides oil, filter, air filter, rear dif. fluid & brake fluid changes & the normal inspection items is there anything else that should be done?
I have no problems with the car.
Have the car for 4 yrs. now & still love it!
thanks guys...

I went a bit further on some of my maintenance. I'm at 19200 miles on my '05 and just had everything mentioned above serviced plus a couple more things.
Brakes. At this mileage, they were pretty worn and I replaced the front pads and calipers and the rear pads.
Valve adjustment even though it is not recommended. Mine were 1/8+- a turn off on average at this point. This made a noticable difference. While the cover was off, the valvetrain was thoroughly inspected.
Clutch fluid. The older my fluid got, the more the CDV seemed to kick in. It grabs much better now.
Put the car in the air and visually inspect as much as you can.

Will changing the clutch fluid improve the engaging point?
My clutch engages close to the top of it's travel now, & I'm told it's worn & can't be adjusted.
I have no slippage yet, so I guess I'll wait a bit before replacing.
