    Default Major Service, what should i change?

    Hey guys,

    Having just purchased a VX SS, ive decided to do a major service as im not 100% sure of the cars service history.

    I was thinking of changing the following...

    Engine Oil + Filter (Mainlube 175 Synthetic Race Oil SAE 10w60)
    Spark Plugs (NGK Iridium)
    Leads (?? Not sure)
    Air Filter (K&N, so just a clean)
    Transmission Fluid + Flush (Mainlube 154 SAE 75w90 Synthetic Solid Boundary E P Gear Oil + Mainlube 245 Flushing Oil)
    Diff Oil + Flush (Mainlube 154 SAE 75w140 Synthetic Solid Boundary E P Gear Oil + Mainlube 245 Flushing Oil)
    Fuel Filter
    Brake Fluid
    Power Steering Fluid
    Coolant

    Ive just changed the brakes and tires.

    What else should i look at changing? The car is a Stroked LS1 (330rkwk) with about 140,000kms on the clock (new engine + stroke about 30,000kms ago).

    Is it worth changing the O2 sensors?

    Any other recommendations for the parts listed above? Basically i dont mind spending $1000 or so for this service, i just want to use quality parts to protect the car as much as possible.

    Cheers, Errol.

    Pretty much covered it there.

    Can replace leads if you want, but thats a major tune.

    Also no need to replace o2 sensors, if you replaced everything that could cause it to use more fuel you'd be replacing tyres, temp sensors etc!
