My Eclipse 2003 GTS runs 31,500 miles now. Do you know what I need to check follwing to the preventive maintenance schedule?

On my way to the dealer to change oil($25), I plan to ask them to do preventive maintenance. I am worried to be overcharged.

I have a 2004 Eclipse GTS with just over 60K miles. The regular maintenance on our car is high priced. If you want to drive your car for over 200k miles keep on the maintenance DUH. What'd you expect when you bought a foreign sports car...?

you can always learn to do some of it your self. Typically its not that bad. If you wanna play you gotta pay. Just be glad its not European like Benz or a BMW or VW heh.

I'll try to remember to look up the recommended maint. at work tomo and post it.

Nothing major at 30K, inspections mainly make sure everything is fine. You can do couple of flushes, like, radiator, brake fluid, power steering fluid... etc. No major belts or transmission flush needed at all. read your service manual
