new owner maintenance suggestions needed

[haunter]

Hey everyone

I need to run through maintenance on my new to me 13 with 66k miles.

I was hoping for some suggestions on where to start

I was thinking oil/filter, air filter, plugs

other things were, should I be checking into trans/diffs fluids at this point?

This is for your 13 PP SHO Correct ?
Do you happen to have any maintenance records?  Recalls are up to date?
I would say the Trans,PTU Flush is crucial for optimum performance considering the current mileage you have and especially if original fluids.

Here is my very own BUILD THREAD below to give you an idea.  Z

I would say ALL fluids first, then plugs etc.

+1 on all the fluids with the PTU being at the top of the list and don't forget to check you intercooler for any oil pooling as well as your intercooler pipes.

How do you check the intercooler for pooling?  Please tell me it doesn't require pulling the intercooler...

I would use the oil dip-stick for reference.
Need to remove the TB Piping in order to gain access to the CAC. Z

I would tell you that, and I wouldn't be pulling your leg.

And that pump in the link will not work. It seems you would have to use a powered vacuum pump in order to extract.

Can't we just use an oil suction gun, as long as the tubing reaches the bottom of the passenger side of the intercooler?  Any reason it has to be powered, or does that just make it easier?  I have one of these laying around https://www.harborfreight.com/oil-suction-gun-95468.html

I used something similar but smaller in scale with no luck. Other may be able to chime in.
