Just a quick question guys, I have a 2011 Camaro SS L99. When should I do a full tune up on my car?

If the plugs and wires are older than 3 years and 30000 miles , slap some new NGK plugs in and a set of wires for optimal performance .

original owner? when I bought my 2010 2.5 yr ago I did plugs, plug wires, trans fluid and diff fluid. I also did a radiator drain/refill(along with a heater hose relocation). Not knowing what the original owners did and knowing full well the "stealership" did the bare minimum to sell.

this way I had a way to check everything out and know that good fluids(Royal Purple) are in.

oil changes are based on how dirty the oil is vs mileage...

good luck OP...peace.

btw - going on 40k miles and have driven to c'fest last year plus lots of road trips...20+ mpg hwy...
