#1 of 3 ISUZU Trooper Maintenance Schedule by landroverr Oct 27, 2007 (10:02 am)
I have a 2002 Trooper with about 83K miles on it. I bought the car used at Carmax with 26K mailes 3 years ago. I change the oil regulary and Air Filter. What other maintennace should be done at 83k miles ? I plan on changing the transmission fluid in the next few weeks. I spoke with a guy who works on Troopers he said a tune up plus,wires, etc should be needed until 90K Because it Has Platinum plugs, and don't flush radiator, timing belt should be fine until 100k. I am getting terrible mileage and with gas prices these days...It's killing me. I also got some high grade fuel injector cleaner from Bap Geon and have done that twice..Any suggestions would be appreciated..   Thanks

Replying to: landroverr (Oct 27, 2007 10:07 am) When you change the plugs, be sure to use one that is specified in the owner's manual. Using any other will probably cause issues. Note that the plugs have individual coils with a rubber tube covering the recessed plugs. These rubber tubes will probably be difficult to remove...do not force them since replacement of the coil and tube is rumored to be about $150 each. Once you remove the coil pack from the tube, use compressed air down the center hole in the rubber tube...this will pop the tube off and avoid the possibility of damaging this tube.   There have been a number of discussions about changing the tranny fluid... Some folks claim that doing a complete change after so many mile can lead to tranny failure...the theory being that the new fluid disolves deposits and ends up gumming up the tranny with these liberated deposits. Some folk really recommend dropping the pan, cleaning the filter and refilling only the portion of fluid drained that way thus avoiding a complete refill at one time. Repeat this every 10-15K miles to refresh the fluid gradually.   I have a 2000 Trooper and I think the timing belt is recommended at 90,000 miles. I finally got mine done at around 114K miles.
