    Default Teg maintenance/checkups

    I was just wondering what maintenance can you do to tegs after it's been riding for a LONGGGGGGGGGGGG time. e.g. 200K+ miles.

    i'm not talking about the usual oil change. something like Seafoaming the thing or something like IAVC cleaning? replacing fuel filters, etc. anything comes to mind?

    bullshit question if we dont know info on the history of the car.

    1. a complete service history
    2. style of driving
    3. type of gas used
    4. have u hauled anything. not towed

    personally i need more info. theses other cats can make there guesses based of a "LONGGGGGGGGGGGG time". with 200k+ miles i find it hard to believe its never had a service.

    lol regular tune up are, of course, manditory and yes timing and everyting has been done. i dont think i made my question clear. i dont need to know what tune ups i need; i want know things like sea foaming which i was never told by anyone to do except a friend. soemthing small/something to do in the driveway--something like cleaning IAVC, etc?
    if you still wanna know:
    1. oil change every 3-4k. 5w/30. valve cover gasket, bled brakes a few months back. flushed radiator, bled clutch too, changed fuel filter.
    2. errrr get from A to B with 35+mpg
    3. 89/93
    4. fat people....
