The 9-3SC has the GM EcoTech 2.0 liter engine. To date I have done regular oil changes and far less often coolant and ATF changes. The blower motor failed and I had to replace it twice because I cheaped out with the first replacement brand.
I replaced the rear brake pads early in the car's life due to excessive dusting on the wheels. The Akebono Euros have been fantastic since. Now at 95K miles and 12 years old the front pads are still original (although near end of life), the suspension is 100% original, the exhaust is 100% original, I replaced the Xenon headlights once. The serpentine belt, tensioner, and fuel gage sending unit have been replaced by the local Indy.
This car makes my tools feel neglected......
