Easy Maintenance

I am a new cobalt owner and was wondering if there are any easy maintenance steps I can do on my car to keep it running good and maybe help it run better. This could include any cleaning of parts or anything.

Might want to let us know what you're driving. Wouldn't do any good for me to tell you to tighten your turbo bearings if you're driving an NA car, would it?

Don't listen to soxfan he's a bully.....

Air filter
Fuel filter
Clean maf
Clean tb
Check hoses for cracking and replace
Make sure you have no codes. 2.4s are known to have solenoids go bad so if you have codes get them checked.

Easy maintenance is a relative term. The list Twoozo is a good start, also a coolant flush and brake line flush
