50k miles, 1st time sports car owner maintenance help
 

Besides premium gas, synthetic oil, new tires, alignment, Rotate and balance, and new pads and rotors, what service should I be looking to do at my 50k mile mark.

Bleed brakes?
Change any fluids?
Anything else?

Your service intervals are in the maintenence guide of your owners manual.

Do you have service records? The Z is fairly light on required maintenance, typical of most modern cars these days.

If you lack service records I would drop the oil, replace air and cabin filters, and inspect a lot. Tires are not going to be rotated unless its a non-staggered setup.

Brakes either are fine or need service: nothing to do with mileage.

Some folks (such as myself) like to change fluids out after X years that are not specified, such as differential fluid, brake fluid and transmission fluid. This is optional as the factory maintenance guide does shows these as 100K+ items.

For me that number is 4-5 years.

Get the brake and clutch fluids flushed and bled.

I am almost at 60k and was told when I hit 60, I should do all the fluid flushes.

30k-60k-100k service..

Don't know how much i need it. Car runs like the day I got it. But maybe Ill spend the $2-300 and get it done

Getting brake fluid soon. But I have auto tranny? Stil need clutch fluids?

No clutch fluids are for the hydraulic slave cylinder on a manual & the Auto trans is a sealed unit. Make sure you take that to a dealer that knows what they are doing because it is a rather involved process with special tools. It's supposedly maintenance free, but I plan to do my auto trans at about 60k

YMMV

Go with a higher boiling point fluid if its gettng flushed and filled for the brakes and clutch. Might as well if its getting done.
