I'm brand new to this forum and am posting like crazy, thanks for the
help!!!

My 2000 Sunfire has 92K miles on it and I have kept up with oil changes and
I had the transmission fluid changed. Considering the mileage on the car
what should I be looking to work on(i.e. preventative maint)

Thanks again!!!

Spark Plugs, spark plug wires, fuel filter, air filter, PCV valve. That's
about all I can think of at the moment.

Did you flush out the Dex-Cool coolant yet?
That should have been done in 2005.
Read the sticker under the hood.

I haven't done that yet, but I was reading online that alot of GM car owners
are mad that GM used DEX, they are saying it is corrosive. I also read that
I should not flush it and use anything else. What are your thoughts on this?
Thanks for the replies!

Find a shop that has a coolant flush machine and have them use regular
green stuff.
That's what my shop does, and what I did to my 2002 Blazer this month.

Dex-Cool is only bad when you don't maintain it, kinda like what you
have already done for two years.

Thanks but I don't know about cars and the manufacturer said I didn't need
to maintain it for 150K miles. So you're saying that it wouldn't harm it to
switch this late?

Go read the sticker under the hood.  It says 150,000 miles or 5 years,
whichever comes first.
