Default Basic Mainten.

This might seem like a stupid kind-of question, but I haven't owned a mustang, let alone any other car long enough to really properly maintain it.

Thus, basically my question is what is a good basic maint. routine for my stang?

Starting with fluids, what fluids need to be regularly checked and changed? What else can I do to keep her running tip top?

(I've been keeping up with my oil changes, next one isn't due for another 800 miles).

Thanks

Read the owners manual. That will give you the basic schedule.

Change trans/radiator/rearend fluid i say atleast every 20k i do but then again im very cautious. Tune up every 30k atleast. Air filter if you havent been. Check brake fluid/powersteering fluid. Maybe few more things but cant think right now.
