Runs excellent, new tires, back brakes..what should I be replacing? I need an o2 sensor, and I want to replace pcv valve..how about the timing belt?...If all is running great,should I be replacing parts?....any and all advice is welcomed..you people are great. I have learned a lot! cabin air filter. air filter, trans fluid, engine oil, all replaced.

The V6 engine is quite robust (though they run a little warm), and some trim parts inside may be a bit "weak", but otherwise, excellent little car... Smallest V6 sedan in America. :-) Just a plain jane '96 LX V-6 here...

Mine has never run warm. Even in hard summer driving. 2000 SVT #674 13.47 @ 102 - All Motor! It was not broke; Yet I fixed it anyway.
